The nose is amazingly fresh, with even wome cut grass hints (very amazing for an Islay), some citrus notes, a light veil of smoke and some slightly medicinal touches. A very interesting nose.
In the palate, some fine oily peat is discretely but clearly present. A nice complexity wavering between peat and chocolate. A rather oily impression, very pleasant and without any aggressivity and a touch of bitterness give this whisky a nice complexity in the mouth. A touch of smoke also.
The finish is lingering and warm, even complex as the mouth was, beginning on clearly peaty notes, developing on woody hints and finally giving some acidity in retro-olfaction before just coming back on the first peaty impression.
