Nose

Dull greenish amber hue. Rich, mellow and well peated. Kippers, wet coal, pipe smoke, walnut. Slightly medicinal. It's standing beside the Port Ellen maltings going at full blast while drinking a glass of dry Oloroso. Development moves into balsamic notes

Palate

Robust and smoky from the start. Ash like, suggesting maturity. Still sweet in centre.

Finish

Treacle and some tar.

Comment

Not for the fainthearted. A hairy beast.
