Very complex. A little water tempers the alcohol and brings out more rich sugars and berry notes. The herbaceous finish is still there, though softer. Smoke seems to have disappeared entirely. Even more water brings it into Speyside malt territory, with lighter fruits such as apple and pear, and some honey and flowers. The herbal finish has been replaced with fruits and white wine
