Color: Bright gold. Nose: Malty, but weird, I am having a hard time placing it. Light citrus in the background. Maybe it’s sweet almond that malty taste reminds me of. Adding water leads to a cheese funk explosion. There’s a hint of dark berry, as well. There’s a medicinal quality, but it is different from what I'm used to in things like Laphroaig. That weird thing I can’t identify is kind of like white socks that have been washed, but a while ago, maybe. Taste: Thick. Light smoke, tiny bit of salt. Water makes it feel thinner but there’s a stronger vegetal taste. Finish: Peat. It really comes in here and takes over everything. I get a chocolatey sense on occasion. It’s very powerful for a quick burst, and fades about medium length. It’s a bit sharper after water but remains largely the same.
