On the first whiff there is an intense vanilla aroma reminding me of soft creamy vanilla cotton-candy/or rich icecream. This dominates the nose for quite a while with some light earthy peatiness, none of the vegetal, almost seaweed like nose of the Islay malts. Then after letting it breathe, some light strawberry/raspberry scent sneaks around the vanilla, the dehidrated kind. Kinda what i would expect from a cask strenght bourbon/sherry aged whisky. The palate is much more heavy with the peat but there are also hinta of the berries i mentioned in the nose and more of the vanilla, maltiness and some pleasent bitter barrel influence
