Nose
The first whisky I've ever come across which smells like hickory-smoked dry roast peanuts. Pimenton. Dense and oily, but that hickory note is all pervading.
Palate
And it's there on the palate as well alongside a slightly artificial rose note. Splits on the palate, between the slick and the dry.
Finish
The slick wins on the finish.
Comment
Just plain odd.
