Nose • Honey, oak, lemon, barley, some other grains, a little peat Taste • Light golden sugar /molasses, barley, slight oak vanilla/maple, heather, grain whiskey, very slight peat smoke, black pepper, • Finish is short/medium with some pepper and light barley flavors Pretty good and quite smooth, although a little underwhelming and watery. The good flavors fade too quickly. Finish is shorter than ideal, but expected given 40% ABV. I think it's certainly worth sipping and considering. 77/100
