Nose: Smokey aromas which are tempered by combinations of powdery milk chocolate and coffee. There's a faint herbal note rummaging around the base. Palate: Viscous but not too thick and certainly not oily. Espresso and malt shine through with a classic Islay campfire smokiness. Finish: Dry. Bitter dark chocolate shavings, earthy peat at the end. I'm left with the aftertaste of a smoked stout. Notes: This was the first dram from the bottle so I'd expect it to open up a bit more in time. But I'm liking this so far.
