The palate develops an earthy note and also features sweeter notes, such as almond and blueberry. Light fruity notes accompany the finish of this good bourbon cask-style whisky.

Nose: Notes of subtly spiced cereals, mango, papaya and pea pods. Traces of hard toffee and light oak chips. A drop of water reveals notes of cinnamon brioche and salted caramel.
Mouth: Silky and fluid with an intense taste of sweet butterscotch, a spicy-dry and woody intensity. The addition of water softens the honeyed sweetness of the creamy, smooth Swiss milk chocolate, with just a hint of salt in the mid-palate. The mild spices now keep the sweetness in check.
Finish: Short and rather intense, with spicy chili pepper notes.
Nose: Rich and warm, light wood smoke, honey, leather. Notes of green apple, vanilla and a hint of burnt toffee.
Mouth: Freshly ground spices and sweet vanilla balance notes of smoke and peat fire. Coastal flavors, distinctly salty, sweet notes, together reminiscent of salted caramel.
Nose: Sea salt, peat, shellfish, white wine, iodine, malt, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper. Mouth: Malty, peaty, salty, black pepper, oak, green tea, cinnamon, nutmeg, white wine. Finish: Persistent, woody, on salt and spices.
