warm and inviting on the toungue, there is a nice cereal notes, a dash of brine, salted caramel, lemon zest, dashes of grilled pinapple and apricot sweetness. then comes a big rush of peat, which mingles greatly with the sweet sauterenes notes. the finish has a nice peppery medium length duration with lots of peat and reisdual sugary sweetness. its almost like ugg with a more white, brighter fruit note. I enjoy the older whiskey age as well. Good release in my book!
