Nose with a slight alcoholic hint (which with 40%ABV is never a good start), it is still quite fresh and clean, with herbaceous and mineral tones together with yellow fruit (peach, apricot and melon), orange, light vanilla and lemon peel. The peat is really a hint in the background, more vegetable than smoky. All in all pleasant, but so far it has very little of a "black" soul. The peat comes out in the palate, even if on the background, with an ashy and toasty contribution, while the citrus fruits and the fruity notes of the nose remain frontal with the addition of almonds and butter biscuit. Always herbaceous and fresh, with a light and subtle profile, with alcohol well present (too much) and a certain bitter and metallic note that develops over time. The finish is rather short, of citrus fruits, ash, metal. Drinkable but not too much, in small quantities it is pleasant but in the long run it expresses an unpleasant artificial note that breaks the lightness of the whole. All in all, it keeps what it promises, mixed it gives a touch of ash enough not to stir the spirits, and can be a good starting point for those who want to get closer to Scotch whisky.
