App.: Bright golden
Nose: Very powerful; as expected there's lots of peat and smoke backed by a soft floral and honeyish note. Also a little terpentine and freshly grated sawdust.
Palate: The first impression is surprisingly soft and easy after this nose, flowerbeds in a scottish garden. The peat shows up at the second glance but now with a keen and mighty entrance. There's also oakwood and a beautiful balance between all that peat honey and wood. A clear medical and bitter but also herbal note (Fernet Branca) which goes stronger at the
Finish: Still smokin' and and very busy, lingering like a dying cigar butt, not very long but with a good accent on bitter herbs.
Conc.: Give this obviously rather young spirit a few more years in maybe a bourbon (not necessarily sherry) cask and there will be a great and very interesting whisky! A promising malt very worth a try.
