The aroma of this whisky evokes the rugged seaside, with bracing notes of sea spray, salt, and the sweet tang of dried cherry and fig. Freshly hewn oak and burnt driftwood add depth, while cracked black pepper and pine resin provide a spicy and resinous accent. On the palate, it is remarkably smooth, revealing robust flavors of smoked and seasoned meats that linger long into the finish, which seems to stretch on endlessly.
