Tastes

Nose: sweet notes of fruit, specifically cherry and Orange with a subtle note of lemon. Caramel and maple. Subtle sweetness, possibly from a sherry cask? Flavour: bitter toffee, a nice peppery flavour with notes of coffee and chocolate and a subdued maraschino cherry, beautiful malty-ness underlies it all.

Aroma: the aroma on this particular Scotch was very toasted coconut forward with some mellow peat notes that were still prominent behind it. Not much in the way of you know stone fruit or malt, or really anything else besides that coconut aromatic on the front. Flavour: akin to the aromatics on this particular Scotch the palate was also very coconutty, with forward notes of peat. But while it is a peated expression from Glenfiddich, the peat was not overpowering in any way shape or form. In fact on the palate it was mellowed out and it was almost as if it was under a layer of water so you could taste, but you weren't getting the full smokey/BBQ-y taste.
