Nose: beach! I really thought its going to be more peat smoke than 2016 12 year old or 16 year old. Then some fruits breeze come from far far away. Oh my this is good. Taste: peaty and salty with fruits come along. Some barley come at last. Quite surprised as it is alot less pepper than the 12 and 16 year old. Palate: short to medium with barley aftertaste. But i also have some green vegetables aftertaste. Hmmm.. Lovely stuff and very smooth 89/100! Now i shd get another 5 bottles.
