Nose:. It's got a bite to it. Spicy heat surrounding a fruity base. I get a dark chocolate cocoa too. Taste: fruity, more normal scotch than Islay but backbone with a sweeter mellow ardbeg smoke. Reminds me of Auriverdes (sp). I get almost shortbread and chocolate. Not getting any peanut which others notice. Finish: Not particularly long finish which lets me down a bit because what is there is very pleasant.
