Taster
Nose: Like eating a sultana cake next to a peat fire. Becomes medicinal, Savlon. Has a certain buttery sweetness.
Palate: Soft with dried fruits and a mix of nut and peat. Rounded and soft. The peat seems suppressed.
Finish: Dried fruit. Ash.
Comment: The finish swamps the whisky a little.
Score: 7.5
