Nose: raisin and some dark rich fruit. some solid meaty smokiness, a salinity, a moderate peat earthiness. Mild carame
Palate: PX sherry cask brings a strong sticky dark fruit on the front. Balanced impeccably with the peat and smoke notes. Peat and smoke are not small by any means, but incredibly smooth and gentle. Ends with a smooth but pronounced salinity. A solid malt note too.
Finish: sherry is strong here. Mild phenols, a tiny bit of rubber. A bit of wood.
Thanks for sharing your goodbye bottle John!
