Had this whisky with smoked cheese. Even after letting it sit for a few minutes, the finish disappeared quickly. Then the sweetness felt flat. I tried to make it work, but I wouldn't pick it again.

We tried this whisky during dinner with friends. There was enough light smoke to keep me interested, even though the finish disappeared quickly. Still a good pick and one I'd have again.
smoky - dryHad this bottle with roasted nuts. The idea of mellow sweetness was there, but the finish disappeared quickly. I finished the glass, but I wouldn't choose it again.
