This is an incredibly nuanced Scotch and I can already tell repeated visits will be very rewarding and insightful. The nose is bright and cheerful with apple, honey, pear, and a slight eucalyptus with a subtle background of toasted barley and salt sea air. The palate is richer and darker than the nose would suggest. A pop of nuts and rich citrus explodes at the front, transitioning into grain before the apple from the nose returns with caramel sugar to play with and draw out the subtle smoke as the bright citrus dies down. The smoke is only ever a suggestion and has a sea salt quality to it, a far different experience than a dense peat smoke gives. The finish is fantastically long with transitions that tease you before snapping strongly into focus. The sweet apple lingers on the finish and ultimately joins the sea breeze smoke to leave you savoring black tea and pipe tobacco in front of a smoldering campfire on the beach.
