Nose

Obviously phenolic but also with sugared almonds, green tea and green peppercorns. Gooseberries, soot and wood smoke. Chinese restaurant seaweed. At times a pink Dettol note.

Palate

More of that green tea, smoky almonds and some jalapeño spice.

Finish

Coal tar. Very dry.

Comment

Typical of this great distillery: satisfying and sophisticated.
