In the glass this whisky feels thick and has a nice light amber natural looking color. The main aromas on the nose are a nice light peat smoke with lemon zest, but there is also toffee, green moss, raisins, and charred oak. At first the palate is thick with creamy nougat, but smoke begins to dominate the sweet palate and you start to taste some salted meats and bacon. This leads to a long finish with heavy charred oak and pepper. This scotch has a similar profile to the distilleries on the southern coast, but feels more gentle on the tongue without taking away any of the flavor that it offers. I can see why Diageo likes to use this in so many blends, and you can easily taste its influence in Green Label.
