Nose
Right off the bat I am greeted by the aroma of poached pears dusted with cinnamon. The dram initially reminds me of brandy or Cognac until the Scotch notes arrive. Fresh mint mingles among orange oil and green apple skin. From the middle to the end there is the more medicinal scent of iodine and subtle smoke.
Palate
The whiskey has a velvety mouthfeel. The fresh mint and green apple from the nose are bright and robust on the tongue. As far as sweetness goes, the whiskey brings up granulated white sugar. The most interesting taste of the whiskey is melted butter salty, creamy, and fatty. Like the nose, the smoke is subtle on the palate throughout, and that bandaid taste. I also get a little bit of clay on the finish.
Finish
