On the nose, it presents a mix of sea rocks, peat, and wet sand. The palate has notes of hot pepper and licorice wood, leading to a long-lasting finish.

Smells of oak, apple, tropical fruit, coconut, and mild peat. On the palate, it's sweet with a thin body and a very brief finish.
Citrus aroma. Peaty. Peppery and spicy. Viscous texture. A long-lasting honey finish.
Peaty. Not one of my preferred whiskies; I'll pass on it next time.
Woody, sweeter than it is spicy. Honey, melon, and salty water
It was quite delicious and easy to drink.
