Nose:The aromas on the nose are reminiscent of caramel and dark dried fruits backed up by an earthy, slightly acrid peat smoke.
Palate:On the palate the whisky is rich and heavy. The initial notes of sweet caramel and dried fruit (raisins and dates in particular) combine with soft peat smoke and increasing wood spices, especially cinnamon and a pinch of star anise. Late candied orange comes through when water is added.
Finish:The finish is long and drying with the peat smoke and wood spices taking over.
