I'm picking up a plethora of flavors but having a hard time delineating them all. Iodine, oysters, vanilla, salted caramel, chocolate orange slices, ocean brine & mineral flavors are what seem to hit me in the chops immediately. There is an underlying 'honey suckle smoke' throughout with a subtle cherry mid-palate. Finishes buttery smooth with touches of leather and tobacco. Would be ranked higher but I feel Talisker 10 offers a very similar flavor profile and quality for less than 1/2 the price.
