Nose: The peat is very controlled and coated in sweetness, great balance. Coal and rotting grass. Salty and heavily smoked meat. Some water brings out some fresh ripe pears, yellow apples and a hint of vanilla. The saltiness comes out a bit stronger but is overpowered by the sweetness. The malt is now there as well. a hint of lemon custard and walnut. Palate: Intensity and sweetness, by which the peat is covered. Olive oil and a bit of ash. Juicy feeling like a very fatty smoked meat, makes you salivate. A few drops of water lets the malt and the wood shine. Pears and walnuts are back in the dance. finish: A return of the campfire on a beach. Long finish, smoke tends to last longer in my experience. Gets more meaty with water. Overall very complex, layered and changing yet very enjoyable. Very good quality/price for a scotch.
