Appearance: Intense, brilliant gold Nose: The malt dominates, underpinned by smoky peat and a hint of oak. Palate: The subtle initial flavour gives way to a powerful and complex finish, where the peat is accompanied by chocolatey notes and a lovely freshness. The body is well-structured and the flavours remain well-integrated and balanced. The finish lingers with spicy notes. Overall impression: A complex and intense whisky, where the peat is balanced with a lovely freshness and a spicy finish.
