Nose

Light, despite a charming smokiness. Incredibly clean. A soft citric background reveals young age.

Palate

Intensely malty, fresh with increasing sweetness as the kippery peatiness gathers.

Finish

Echoing smoke and a delicious build up of cocoa notes. Long. Toasty. Highly satisfying with almost perfect bittersweet balance.

Comment

Easily one of the best 8 Years Old on the market: very, very impressive and enjoyable.
