Leather gloves, lanolin, some gasoline, rocks and citrus rind on the nose, opens with water and with time to more sweetness, tobacco and maybe some licorice, some lemon drops. Licorice, tar and tobacco on the palate and a long, balanced slightly smoky finish. Definitely the sweetness of youth is there, like the Laphroaig quarter cask, but a great whisky with a lot of character to balance the youth out.
