Gentle, light colour and the nose is medicinal (iodine?) with a touch of subtle, light smoke. On this initial outing this could be the lovechild of the Balvenie 12 Doublewood and Lagavulin 16. After 20 mins in glass it smells musky like I would describe the Balvenie. The taste is sharp initially then opens out to a Lagavulin-like brine with a similar long finish that rounds out to sweetness and mint. 4.5 for now but could see a time when it is raised! Lovely!

@Ctrexman I'd be interested to hear your thoughts when you do. Looking at your other reviews I'd say it may be I your wheelhouse.
want me some of this..........great review
Yes @Hud1865, in my opinion you could make bigger mistakes than caving in to the mounting pressure!
Hmmm....Serge at Whiskeyfun.com gives this a 92, and he is not easy to please! Plus a 92 from Distiller I have absolutely no choice but to order a bottle now. I'm running out of excuses though as to why I need to order yet another one! :)
