A very clear nose with an elegant mix of light smoke and discrete peat, in a perfect balance. Behind this dominant fragrances, some sherry hints and fruity notes. Spices as well. Very nice balance, nice complexity, a very fine nose.
In the palate, an unusual complexity, with first some woody notes, with slightly acid citrus hints mixed with tobacco and leather notes, which appear after a while, before making room for clear oily peat hints, delicately integrated in the whole. The mouth, just like the nose, is characterized by an amazing balance and a very large palette of fragrances. Some chocolate notes at the end.
The finish is cast in the same mould. Long and pleasant, with first the chocolate hints of the mouth, where peaty memories are mixed after a few minutes, the whole being very finely balance.
The nose is particularly nice, both fruity (green apple, red currant), both sweet and slightly acid with discrete woody hints. A touch of very discrete smoke as well. This nose announces a very great whisky.
The mouth is very pleasant and marvelously complex, with a nice mix of acid sensations, hints of malt, tobacco, some wood. A real firework in the palate. The whole is perfectly balanced, without any agressiveness and with a smooth impression, close to a milky sensation. Something like a yogurt with green apples.
The lingering finish is pleasant, marked by both cereals and light citrus hints.
