Very powerful nose; leather, orange peel, freshly-ground black pepper, honey, even a hint of strawberries. The taste is smokey and rich; with intense flavors if leather, wood, ancient parchment, like licking a bible from the 1800's. Lots of syrupy honey, more pronounced than in its fragrance but the black pepper tastes as strongly as it smells. It even has flavors of a woman's perfume and of vanilla. It has a smooth oily, silky feel in your mouth. The finish is herbal and peppery and lingers like a fine cigar and its ashes. So far, I think I'm putting it in my top five or so favorite Single-Malts, maybe, hesitantly in the top ten. There's much more too, take time to enjoy it. It's peaty too, so much though that the peat flavors are just a given. Look past the peat for all the complexities.
