A novice in the world of whisky, this is only the second bottle I purchase. This has been a real revelation! The peat is intriguing on the nose, pleasant even though unusual for a beginner like me.The fruit is there, some smoked candied fruits. Meaty... possibly bacon... On the palate, I get savoury notes first, then it is enveloped by the smokiness and some notes of apple... Possibly chocolate. It's one whisky I'm enjoying the more I sip it. Truly grand!
