Nose

Briney. Fresh earth. Arousing.

Palate

Grassy, juicy. Malty, firm, chewy. Shortbread. Cookies. Lemon marmalade. A lot happening.

Finish

Distinctly oily aromatics coming through. Long, peppery, dry.

Comment

Assertive but rounded. A wonderfully satisfying whisky. Enormously improved since its (and my) younger days.
