Amber color, clear, and viscous. Nose is powerful, loaded with peat, iodine, and brine, salty, medicinal, yet round. After the first impression, notes of tobacco and black pepper start to appear. Palate is dominated with umami, full body, rich, almost chewy. Smoke is that of a campfire, with salty notes. Aftertaste is long, dominated by peat and salt, finishing with medicinal and iodine notes. A few drops of water mute the peat and give rise to more floral and fruit notes, an almost Sherry-like aftertones on the nose. Palate is still very much peaty and medicinal, but gains some lemon character. Overall, an excellent complex, mature whiskey for peat lovers.
