Colour: Brass, darker gold.
Nose: Strong and very dry smoke, cigar ash, some rather biting but not disturbing note like terpentine. Freshly polished leather boots, backed by emerging softer floral and fruity (apple) notes.
Taste: Very firm, the 50% let their muscles play, but beside the strong peat reek there's ginger, ready salted crisps, nuts (pecans) and candied lemon peel (Citronate).
Finish: After short there's a very enjoyable bitterness teasing the tastebuds for a while.
Conc.: Appears to be the great brother of Tomintoul "Peaty Tang" Lacks the complexity of a great Islay dram, but any peat freak will love this one.
