On hot days can't smell anything but the alcohol, probably because it is 46.3%!. On cooler days, the sweet fig and a hint of wood comes out. Pleasent and sweet. With one cube of ice, it is little sweet, hint of peat and surely tingle the tongue. The taste stays for a while in the mouth. Although well balanced, I gave it 3 stars because I prefer the more smooth fruity citrus. My favorite from the peat scotchs so far.
