The nose is the highlight here. Rich, fruity peat smoke with a citrus freshness...a delight!
Palate retains the richness somewhat but is more ashy and smoke-forward. Closer to the 8-year than the 16 in that regard (think Corryvreckan over Uigedail).
Finish brings back the dark fruits and sherry character from the 16.
Those flavors move up into the mid-palate as you sip further.
This is 4.5 for sure, probably a 92/100 for me.
