There is a beautiful copper color with in this whiskey, and thin oily legs cling to the glass. The nose is strong and delicious with notes of peat, sea brine, floral honey, lemon, incense smoke, and burnt rubber. The palate is equally delicious with notes of peat, BBQ char, rubber, sweet apple, French toast, and a medicinal quality. The finish is long and transforms from bitter to sweet and dry. This is a tasty dram! If I were to compare it to a scotch it’d be of the Campbeltown region. I find the generous proof and full flavor so good and I highly recommend it! Thanks, Paul John! Cheers!
