Nose

Smoke, rubber, leather, wet clay, lemon zest, vanilla, farmyard notes after adding water

Palate

Sweet, smoky, rose pepper, oranges, red apple, rubbery notes, touch of coffee

Finish

Long, sweet, smoky, mouthwatering at the beginning but getting dry quite soon, pecan nut notes and autumn feeling at the end

Conclusion

Great whisky, quite complex and doesn't feel young at any moment. The central core is smoke, it's strong but very gentle. During tasting one can feel many different smoky notes: bonfire, farmyard, rubber. I immediately felt the smell of my old diving mask, which was made of real rubber, not a modern silicone. After some time this whisky gives an autumn feeling most likely because of burnt leaves associations, so it's definitely not a summer dram. For this quality whisky the price of 100 euros doesn't look too high so it's a good idea to have this bottle in your home bar
