Tasting Notes

Nose

Intense with a clean sharp character. Tarry notes, engine oil, dried seaweed and a weird cabbagey note. Peat/smoked tea.

Palate

Surprisingly soft given the nose nutty with great crisp maltiness. Smoke.

Finish

Long and smoky.

Comment

A good example that harks back to the cask strength 10 Years Old but with extra weight (and tarry smoke!).
