A rare budget single malt sourced from Teaninich.
Nose:
Young and aggressive, but pleasantly malty with grass and tons of medicinal herbs breaking through.
Taste:
Bites quite hard, with a heavy malt delivery. Heather, clove, aniseed, green tea and citrus notes. It's an overwhelmingly medicinal herbal palate.
Finish:
Medium and hot. Malt, citrus, medicinal herbs linger.
Final thoughts:
This is definitely the most variously herbal Highland malt I have ever tasted. Unfortunately it's a bit harsh when neat. Adding some water and letting it breathe a bit is almost a must. It's also a rare chance to try a budget single malt whisky from a distillery that usually only supplies its malt for blends.

@BDanner they also have Smoky Scot - a 5yo Caol Ila - which I highly recommend if you're into Islay.
Count my interest as piqued...
