Slightly spicier on entry and throughout tasting than some other cask strengths, namely Ardbeg's cask series, but much easier than Aberlour's cask series. All tasting performed neat, with NO water added. Entry is very sweet, but its complexity shines, morphing into unlit cigar, leather, then a huge burst of sherry/nuttiness that lingers until the finish. The finish is incredibly cacao-heavy, with mily peat/smoke that rounds out the aftertaste.
