On the nose: Sweet baking spices, golden raisins & maybe apricot or blood oranges. Just a small amount of peat, enough to notice it's a scotch. It almost smells like a good bourbon.
Palate: Sweet, woodsy, nutty - maybe walnuts & honey. Dry on the mouth, makes me want a sip of water. Could be a stronger proof, but not too much.
Finish: A few minutes of not drinking, I am left with chocolate cigar taste/notes in the mouth. This is good, but would still rate this about 88/100.
