The nose is peaty yet fruity in an interesting and enticing combo. The flavor is not too strong, in the American Single Malt fashion, but there is a rich, peaty flavor. Dark chocolate is very present and there is definitely tobacco too, but it isn't one of those nose-burning peat spikes. There is plenty of toffee too and the sweetness is really enjoyable. It doesn't have a ton of malty, cereal flavor, but there is some there. There isn't a ton of complexity for a drink of this variety, but there is plenty and the flavors are all really good. It's a bit weak for a Peated whiskey, but what do you expect from an American Single Malt? The trade-off may be that it's super smooth. It's quite sweet, but the peat balances out and gives depth to the weak flavor. It's a very successful balance for an American Single Malt. It does a great job of compensating for the usual American Single Malt weakness shortcoming. It might be a bit sweet for some but I like it. The finish is really nice too. It could use a little more richness and complexity, but its balance is really good as is. The flavor here is pretty mild with plenty of chocolate mixed with a mild dose of tobacco and some fruit. I prefer the punchier and fruitier Westland Peat Week 2017. This is a solid Peated American Single Malt, but the end result is too mild. The balance is very good, but more richness is really crucial here. It's too bad that that is a flaw since the flavor is otherwise very good with a nice marriage showing off the balance yet not hiding the elements that make this a nice drink. I'm happy to have it, but I could use some more oomph. I would definitely sip this, but I would really like to try a more aged version. The clean flavor is very nice though. With a big sip, the spice does come out in a way that asserts the character of this drink, and so do (to a lesser extent) the cherry, almond, and chocolate.
