A free bottle from the Spectator Magazine. Although not my own words, the 'experts' notes are perfect: " The nose displays vanilla cream, citrus zest, and nectarine and as you continue the journey, toasted malt, butterscotch, and golden raisins are there to greet you. The peat smoke present and accounted for, but is a smoldering fire at best." Very sweet, very smooth with only a very slight, if any kick. Quite a bitter aftertaste that doesnt seem to go away :( this bitterness lost this whiskey a whole star whilst writing this review.
