Viscous pour with solid sheeting and slow legs. Pour is a golden brass. Lovely. The nose. Oh, the nose! Beyond Lagavulin 16. This is deep water. Complex. Profound. Astonishing! In addition to the peat, the smoke, the barrel, the wood, the oak, the vanilla, the honeysuckle, I'm getting just tons of minor notes. Perhaps the finest nose from a peated scotch that I have ever experienced! Just wow... On the pallet there is DEPTH. Peat, iodine, saline, honey, orchard fruit, barrel notes. This is better than Lagavulin 16. Better. Better... The finish is sublime. Slow, spicy, peppery. Sophisticated. Complex. This is the first time I've immediately given a perfect score on a scotch whisky. Temporis is that good, imho. Definitely worth the price of entry and more than competitive with the handful I've sampled at this elevated price point.
