Nose: pear, sea air with a hint of smoke, vegetal - maybe asparagus Taste: predominant word that comes to mind is “bright” as there’s a refreshing feel to it but not as much citrus as that might imply - there’s a little lemon but like if you gave a quick squeeze of lemon over asparagus before serving, a light honey, salty, a tinge of smoke late, flowers? Finish: apple jolly rancher - not that level of sweetness but that flavor versus a real apple, briny, that flowery note lingers as well After reading reviews: the nose and taste notes from Distiller make sense for me except confectioner sugar on the nose (and Flaviar’s cake) - this was much fruitier than sweet for me, I don’t get the spice notes on the finish though, Flaviar notes carrots so there’s the vegetal note that stuck out to me. Overall, this is nice and complex. I prefer the higher levels of both peat and sweet in Oban 14, however. When this was priced in the $30s, it was a great value but not as much in the $50s now.
