Orange peel, rose water, sweet oak, light peaty smokiness and lots of minerality. Not too smoky, peaty or ashy, pleasant and sweet.
Moderate palate, sweet honey, citrus, lime, orange peel, toffee and some minerality.
Moderate finish, vanilla, orange peel, some minerality, light peaty smoky. The peat here is more minerality and light ash, less medicinal or briney than the Yamazaki.
Pleasant but a touch one-dimensional. A bit more oak and some proof would bump this up nicely in complexity.
