Nose

Gently phenolic with dense apricot and barley. Faintly briny with lightly oiled orange and earthy peat. In time a crunchy granulated sugar note appears as the peat slinks off!

Palate

Opens with lightly oiled satsuma and pretty astringent herbal notes. Sweet barley and light vanilla try to balance. Intense, mouth-watering middle with a light \npeat intimation.\n

Finish

Reasonable length with a gritty peat smoke and light tannin finish. Tart citrus and green apple after-taste.\n

Comment

A pleasant enough dram. I could have done with a little more intensity.
