I bought a sample of this from a fellow whisky lover. The first wiff was full of cotton candy amd vanilla and some not too rough peatsmoke, to refence it to something you have already tried: its far less agressive then a Laphroaig 10. The palate i cant quite grasp. Its some kind of nutty-vanilla taste. I cant decide if the spiciness is from the flavor or just the alcohol burning my tounge a little, since this is a NAS there could be younger whisky in there which will be a little more harsh. In taste it is like less vanilla-y candy-ish that you would expect from the nose, and there is no brine/salt/seaweed taste (which i do like btw). It is more of a gentle oaky peaty taste. Finish kinda the same as the palate, but creamy sweet. Quite nice i have to say
