Tasting Notes

Nose

Heady and aromatic. Sweet cantaloupe, honey and honeycomb, banana, and dried mangos are accented by a spicy ginger sharpness, rich leather, and just a thread of gentle smoke. It’s elegant and dimensional, the kind of aroma you just want to crawl into.

Palate

At first it comes off as extraordinarily–almost shockingly–dry, with none of that fruit from the aroma making an appearance on the palate. At first, I get ginger molasses cookie, oak, pepper, and dry spices that carry on through an extremely long and lean finish. The smoke is modest but somewhat heavy, like smoldering coals. As it sits, however, this whisky really changes in the glass, developing a voluptuous sweetness and body along with beautiful flavors of buttery malt, mango, sticky salted caramel, brioche, lemon peel, and candied ginger. Smoke hovers in the background, present but not at all overpowering.
