Tasting notes are for batch 011. Nose: smoke, peat, seaweed/brine, vanilla, and a hint of sweetness lurking behind everything. Slight medicinal notes as well. Nothing unpleasant about it. The first time I smelled this whiskey, I got some notes of tropical fruit, maybe pineapple. But, I didn't get it again. Mouth: oily, viscous, feels great in your mouth. The smoke and Ash comes to the forefront here. If you like peat, this is your whiskey! If you wait long enough, the sweetness and vanilla lurking in the nose start to come out. They are still fairly muted, but present. Finish: lonnnnnng finish. some spice and plenty of smoke. Feels like I ate a peppery brisket that has been smoked for the entire day. I also paired this at one point with some medium blue cheese. Quite the combination! I recommend it, as it brought out the non-peated elements of this whiskey, such as the sweetness, fruit and floral notes, and vanilla much more prominently. I have a bottle of this and would gladly buy this again.
