A total disconnect from the nose. Not at all fruity. Instead, more of a piney, foresty taste. It has a scotch quality but is wonderfully (for me) unpeaty, even though it's got a lot of peat in the components, so who knows, maybe I'm developing a taste? But I don't get that cymbal hit of smoke, which made me really happy.
