(2015 bottling) Nose bursting with ripe, floral orchard fruits, baked banana and nutty sherry. With added water; candied pineapple, ginger and rich vanilla beneath a layer of dark chocolate. All perfectly balanced against the ideal amount of smooth savory smoke. Hints of mint and menthol, even sweet curry! Fruits and cocoa carry through the mouth-filling palate with cereal and orange spice. Touch of macadamia nut. Smoooooooooooooth. Long and dry, smokey finish. Eminently satisfying. Axis Mundi, like all the richest qualities of Scotland's single malts combined and balanced out, no individual overpowering the rest. Almost the only whisky I'd ever need... If it just wasn't discontinued. 😠Dry glass: sweet malt and ...faint dried salami...?
