Very enjoyable whisky. Rich, velvety goodness. Complex on the nose, there's a touch of pear, orange, apple, and spices. Quite strong, this deserves a splash of water to smooth it. It coats the mouth and only has a faint hint of peat & smoke. Beautiful. Very satisfying taste strikes right to the core of flavour.

Taste | Briny and earthy, with camphor, apples, sea salt, a hint of oranges, and salted caramel. Syrupy in texture with vanilla and a light smokiness, more woody than peaty. Water brought out more sweet creamy vanilla and some perfume from the wood, as well as some sticky glacé cherry. |
