Strong peppery notes come first. Think of something like mixed pepper - black, red and white. Strong sea salt notes could be easily felt also. Hints of peat smoke also with blackberry and just a touch vanilla. Almost the same on the palate with just one difference - the peaty, smoky flavors are stronger here and the spirit is harsh, although decent for its value. Clydesdale is Lowland distillery, but this is not so easy to drink whisky.
