Tasting Notes:

Light yellow amber color.
Big briny salt and smoke nose. There is a touch of oak and note of smoked bacon.
This whisky is shockingly crisp up front. Almost tart. There is a rich iodine and salt character, along with lean smoke and a very rich peppery alcohol.
The finish is long and leaves you with mellow oak and smoke.
