Nose
Fragrantly smoky. Perfumy, very floral. Hessian. Sea air. Astonishingly fresh, delicious, appetising, complex.
Palate
Perfumy start. Hint of flowering currant. Nutty. Layers of dry, black treacle, maltiness.
Finish
Smooth. Polished stone. Hard, salty, liquorice.
Comment
Not that dark – just tawny. Whisky in its mid teens, I would say, but from superb sherry casks.

Nose
Fresh, wonderfully clean Oloroso clings to the oak and peat to form a wonderful trio.
Palate
Big and chewy with the sherry and the peat in perfect harmony. Perhaps uncomplex and lacking sophistication, but the balance is quite stunning.
Finish
Long with a hint of molasses/liquorice adding to the toasty malt and rumbling smoke.
Comment
Really delightful whisky which suggests youth but offers a faultless peat/sherry combination.
