A very nice nose, announcing a very nice whisky. Salt and smoke. Just like an Ardennes Ham (wel probably only people coming from this region, like me, will understand..). But with an addition of pepper and cloves.
In the mouth, a clear contrast between smoked malt and citrus fruit hints, or at least very clear acid touches, even if they do not have the fruity character of citrus fruits.
The mouth is rather dry, and some kind of floral impression is present. The finish is shorter than expected, but pleasantly warm and complex, and the acid notes are mixing again with the smoke and the spicy cereals.
