This is an excellent medium peated Islay malt. It is youthful, reputed to me around six years of age. To me the nose is fresh (young) malt, vanilla, a hint of fruit from the sherry casks it is finished in, a very light floral note, and of course peat smoke. These are all evident on the tongue. I am curious as to where that floral note is coming from, be it yeast strain, the length of fermentation time, or the shape of the still. I simply don't know those particulars for this malt. I must say, because of that slight sherry influence, this malt makes me think of a peated version of Old Pulteney
