Score

Nose
Clean and sweet oak with a little hint of juniper and lychee, almond as well. Light smoke in the background. Oilskins. Light syrup. Needs a time to open.
Palate
Very clean and sweet with light grip of oak then these light fruits. Zesty, light strawberry, falls a little to the back moving into light smoke, wet rock.
Finish
Chinese green tea. Orchid.
Comment
Caol Ila, but with all the smoke machine turned off.
