Nose - it's actually nice and buttery, really nice savory elements with some vanilla and of course smoke. Taste - Complex, explosive, fruity, vanilla, man this has a lot going on. So i'm getting a bit of a muted vanilla, huge amounts of fruits both orchard and dark and then it just goes to 11 with peat and salt. There's a medicinal classic Laphroaig in the middle of this but otherwise it's all over the map with all kinds of cool tasting notes. This I like more than the 10 cask strength, a lot more. The fino barrels are giving this all kinds of awesomeness.
