Nose: Robust. Dark peat, wet hay and leather. Very mellow. Subtile dark fruits. Little to no spicyness. Deep sniffs reveal just a tad of meaty/sulphury notes - but in a good way (i.e. no rotten eggs!). Really good nose, I could sniff this for hours. Palate: Sweet wet hay. Herbs (basil?). Less fruits than on the nose. No spices but I do pick up woody notes such as cedar. It continues to be mellow and there is little to no tung-burn without being watery (it actually sits really well at 43% abv). Finish: Dusty leather and woods. Some sweet smoked meat. Medium/long lasting. Overall: Probably one of the most solid widely available standard bottelings out there. It’s not overly complex, yet it is unique without being pretensious. The nose is the best part of this whisky though neither palate nor finish is far behind. I score it 4.25, which may look like a ”low” mark to some, but I tend to be a bit conservative when I rate (especially 4 and above), and I do consider it a really great whisky.
