Overall
Score
8.2
Nose
Intense with a clean sharp character. Tarry notes, engine oil, dried seaweed and a weird cabbagey note. Peat/smoked tea.
Palate
Surprisingly soft given the nose nutty with great crisp maltiness. Smoke.
Finish
Long and smoky.
Comment
A good example that harks back to the cask strength 10 Years Old but with extra weight (and tarry smoke!).
