Taster

Nose: Smoky and mossy with a real earthiness and a little hint of brackish water. Dry fern. With water bold and smoky. Wet kilt.

Palate: Slow start then a big hit in the middle of the tongue offering sweetness. The oak moss returns. Good grip. Rich tea biscuits and a little flour.

Finish: Good length moving into smoke and tweed.

Comment: All on the end but worth the wait.

Score: 8.1
