Background: I had this blind so keep that in mind while reading my notes. This was aged in a combination of Ex-bourbon and ex-fino casks.
ABV: 51.8%
Nose: Lightly peated, sweet smoke, floral, honey, mesquite, heat.
Palate: Oily and good mouthfeel, Mix of sweet peat and smoke, honey, floralness, bit of ash on the back end.
Finish: Medium length, ash, peat and smoke.
This is decent and easy to drink. Nothing too crazy to me but stands out as a decent peated offering.
Rating: 6/10
Guess: I would guess this to be Caol Ila, ex bourbon finish, 8-12 years, 48-52%
