Starts with an alcoholic burn of smoked vanilla and bright citrus (like orange essence). I then fixate on tar-like peat in this rich bouquet. The palate boasts seaweed paper, light salt, peppered capicola, caramel, and cherry tobacco. The finish is smoky, woody, and leathery, leaving an aftertaste of mint leaves and more citrus. Certainly this is a tempestuous dram; there's much to consider. Another winner from the Isle of Skye.
