Floral and fresh fruity notes on the nose. Hint of wood smoke. Treacle drizzled walnuts. Salty finish.

Probably the only thing I’ll ever give 5 stars to. Beautiful sea air aroma with dates, raisins, a hint of seaweed and briny air, it’s non peated but there’s almost a touch of smoke. Incredibly rich and full flavored. Truly nothing like it.

Sweet briny delicious

I previously had a taste of an older bottling which had been bottled at 40%. I remember it having a more noticeable peat presence than this one. This was a taste of a new bottling at a friend’s house. Sherry, honey, raisin. Dark chocolate and somewhat drying on the finish. Maybe the slightest wisp of smoke, but it’s subtle. I think this is good, but I also kept wishing there was more peat as I was remembering (misremembering?) the older version.
