Peat and mild smoke lead when nosing. To me, the peat is faintly medicinal, but primarily floral, more like Highland Park than an Islay whisky. Oak, spices, touch of citrus maybe. Faint vanilla. Hints of grass/hay. Taste: Peat and moderate smokiness lead the way, but not overpowering. Mix of dried fruit, oak, oh so distant vanilla, malty, peppery, especially on the back of the palate, mildly salty, waves of smoke and a surprising sweetness balanced by the peppery spiciness. Fairly dry, slightly warming. Lingering in the finish that wafts between peat, smoke, spice, fruity sweetness, and over again. Unexpected depth for a 10 year old, but I'll disagree with Distiller's 96. High 80's, yes, maybe even a 90. But hey, I'm not a pro at this, so what do I know.
