Nose

Solventy notes reminded me of paint stored in a wooden shed. Brown envelopes, raisins and some heavy orange oil. With water it became more herbal with mint toffee and baked apples with honey drizzle.

Palate

Powerful blast of rustic peaty smoke and damp woodiness. Lots of toffee, coffee and leather notes. It curled around your tongue.

Finish

A chewy, polished texture and slightly bitter on the finish.

This dram took its time to open up but it rewards you in time.
