Very interesting taste. The peated malt is actually sourced from Scotland. But it doesn't taste or smell as any peated scotches I have tried. Nose: licorice, ripe fruits, grass. Palate: a bit medicinal, tastes like roots, consistent with nose overall. Finish: lingering, doesn't change the palate over time. I somehow feel the taste of good quality gin in it. Overall, it feels like it's a very young whiskey. it might be a interesting whisky, unique, once it ages a bit longer.
