I didn't think I would make it through the glass, but by the end I was ready for a second. Nose: Latakia pipe tabacco and salty ocean water. Taste: Taste exactly like it smells. The smoky Latakia is up front, salt water from an oyster. There was a little vanilla that appeared in some sips. Finish: Granny Smith apples sprinkled with granulated sugar. Finish lasts a while. This may not be for everyone. I thought it was interesting, but not an everyday sip for me. In terms of Scotch, I prefer something like Aberlour.
