Nose- Fresh pineapple juice; light, wispy peat; brown sugar; cambeltown funk; caramelized bananas; white chocolate; papaya
Palate- pineapple juice again; bananas; honey sweetness; a touch of funky oak; road tar; light peat; ginger spice
Finish- Medium, oily finish; bananas covered in brown sugar; honey; ginger; papaya
Great stuff. The rum cask really shines through on all accounts without overpowering the dram. It’s all the yummy rum sweetness with just the right amount of peat, oak, and cambeltown funk. The finish could be longer, but all in all, this is extremely enjoyable, very easy to drink at almost 53%, and belongs on any scotch lovers whiskey shelf.
