Nose : Girsty smoked barley, kippers with a salted butter peppered bite.
Taste : The delivery is youthful and barley reaching puberty then suddenly an intensely malty ascendancy followed by a healthy dose of drier oaks.
Finish : A sublime finale for its sheer delicacy and elegance; the peat no more than oozes, there are cups galore of sugarless medium roast mysore and finally, as a bourbony trail is discovered, soft liquorice and molassed sugar - easily the highlight of the experience.
