The whisky has a nice mix of bright pear, soft smoke, malt, and canned peaches – with a nice touch of minerality and baking spice. Vanilla, dried tropical fruit, and a bit of banana lend increasing complexity. The palate leads with more smoke, burning leaves, green chickpeas, and some nice clove. I’m getting a touch of rubber, throughout. It’s very nice as it balances the smoke nicely with the fruit - the finish has smoke, green apple, light tobacco, tannins and a touch of tar. The smoke builds on the finish over time – nicely.
Pretty great as a casual medium-smoky dram.
Highly Recommended (49% of all whiskies I’ve reviewed to date get this recommendation or higher).
Value: Average, at $75.
