Omg...almost have to chew, it's so thick. First Octomore, definitely not the last. Nose is less smoky than expected. Sweet, vanilla, maybe some cheese. Salty smoke in the background. Very thick mouthfeel. Vanilla, smokiness, warming. Gentle smoke, but very present. Not medicinal, more of a salty, savoury smokiness. Long, warm finish. Smoke lingers. The smokiness is not smack-in-the-face. It sort of coats the whisky. Sweetness and smoke are fighting for the attention.
