The nose: salt water, medicinal peat, faint pair, and on the revisit I get a strong burnt butterscotch The palete: medicinal peat, briney saltwater The finish: very short, burnt butterscotch but not sweet overall it's very apparent this is a very young scotch. Its flavors are thin and it has a bite but it's definitely not boring. For the money this is excellent it will definitely be a staple
