Very peculiar. Definitely sheepy on approach - it smells like lanolin! Strong notes of gloss paint on a proper nosing. Salt lick? Plenty of farmyard character to accompany the story of this sheep dung-dried malt. The whisky is young and thin - top notes of grain like vodka. But its soft, gentle, and grows on the palate. It develops to salty licorice and aniseed, with a finish reminscent of furniture polish. Its not unpleasant, but its different - not particularly whisky like.
