The fragant peatiness on the nose creates anticipation as I get charred seaweed and a medicinal smell (the best kind imaginable) on the nose. It's spicy on the arrival but gives way to a subtle sweetness, reminding me of the refreshing qualities of a favourite ale forcefully tempered by the oak from the cask. Words fail the deliciously peaty finish that makes this dram charming or disgusting depending on who you ask. A fiercly complex one-glass dram, this one demands your attention and forces you to decide with finality if peaty whiskies are your thing.
