Blair's description is very similar to my experience with this whisky: woody and rich nose, a savoury taste with traces of meñola, and a bitter, zesty, Campari-like finish. The thing that's missing for me personally is some sweetness that balances the savoury taste, like in Talisker's 10 year old. However, this whisky is unique and characterful, and another great example of the fine art of blending.
