tidepool_pebble26 JunThe cask influence sounds restrained, with the palate giving more room to coffee, nuts, honey, and pepper than to oak-led character. That feels like a good fit for a whisky where smoke stays subtle rather than taking over. The coffee and brown sugar carry through into the finish, while mint and fruit keep it fresh. The notes give a clear sense of balance, though the cask details themselves remain broad.
