The nose has notes of heavy cream, vanilla, sour green apple, light raisin, lemon zest, a sour lemon juice scent, and a really light sea-salt note. The peat scent comes across as a lit match or campfire smoke and is very prevalent and strong compared to the other notes when taking a light whiff. The taste has a stronger cream note with more vanilla, caramel, and smoke flavors. The finish is thin with a light tobacco note, ash, and a vanilla-y citrus. This whiskey is missing the strong peat elements such as the briney, savory, oily notes and I wish they found a way to incorporate it.
