Nose : The smoke is prime, as soon as the bottle is open! Earthy and leafy, notes of tobacco, oak and malt are present, with a faint fruity note. Taste : Young and bold, tingly malt and smoke are taking most of the place. It is not far from Laguvulin whiskeys, but without the meaty part; so closer to the Laphroaig. A sweet note is present late in the taste. Finish : Still tingly on the finish, the smoke is not too powerful, well balanced with the earthy taste, but is present for a long time.
