Nose: Peaty and coastal notes, almost like an Islayer. Seashells, seaweed, plain peat smoke, wet rocks… Then it’s rather its herbal side that shines through .’

Mouth: Excellent. Round yet nervous, creamy, fruity, resinous, peaty, .....Very, very good whisky for sure. And the peat grows bigger and bigger.

Finish: Very long, peaty, peppery and ‘roundly’ fruity.
