The nose is fruity, sweet and spirit driven. Maybe some salt and dark sugar after some time. It starts sweet on the palate, with fresh fruits and dried fruits, I can't really pin it down. You also find honey, vanilla, salt, some citrus and a faint hint of smoke. Sweet caramel influenced aftertaste without too much oak. The smoke assures a long lingering very pleasant aftertaste. This dram has all the coastal characters you would expect, but feels somewhat young considering the 14 years. It's a classic and for good reason though, but for me it has nothing really special which would make me buy it again. Still you should have a bottle in your shelves once.
