The nose of this whisky opens with a pronounced greasy smoke and hints of ash, alongside notes of freshly cut orange and green apple, adding a pleasant sweetness. Although the smoke fades quickly, the aroma, while straightforward, remains pleasing, with a subtle touch of vanilla. On the palate, the smoke takes the forefront, accompanied by a bacon note and a noticeable intensity, with elements of apple, caramel, and a slightly charred quality, all contributing to a complex flavor profile. Upon the second sip, floral undertones emerge, evoking thoughts of Bowmore, requiring a full mouthful to capture the nuances accurately, with the third sip reinforcing these Bowmore-like characteristics. The finish is ashy with a touch of oak, maintaining a pleasant sweetness, and offering a fleeting hint of tangerine, leading to a medium to rather short finish.
