The smell is quite caressing, soft, with the pungent and sulphurous peat that initially stays a bit on its own, leaving room for apricot, peach, vanilla, orange peel, a pinch of hazelnut and licorice. Well present a fresh and herbaceous profile. Over time, the peaty component grows without overwhelming, with a pleasant salty touch. Very delicate, age has made the whisky decidedly wise and calm. On the palate it confirms its gentle spirit, while revealing a rougher aspect of leather and tobacco that is grafted onto the fruity and herbaceous notes, more dome thanks to the smoky and saline peat that becomes more present. Much licorice, a touch of honey, a bitter note of rhubarb, toasted wood. Round and compacted. Medium finish, burnt wood, licorice, orange, hazelnut. A higher gradation would have given it more character, and it's a shame because the features to be a really remarkable whisky are all there, and the ripening has however greatly benefited the whisky. It remains a very pleasant drink, but not exactly unforgettable.
