Fantastic. A little of everything. Peat, honey, fruit, wood, sherry, it's all there to enjoy. Subtle & never overbearing. This is a GREAT scotch. The finish could occasionally have a little more happening,but this is a great dram. Round 2: Nose:gentle peat, brine, dried fruit, malty sweetness. Palate is gentle peat, honey, brine, touch of grass, beautiful finish. Absolutely an outstanding go to dram. This will be a staple.
