Nose

Medicinal. Camphor. TCP. Sweet grassy notes in the back. Aniseed. A touch of earthy peat. Faint smoke. On time, vanilla swirls up.

Palate

Round, satin soft. Same medicinal profile with sweet liquorice toffee, a hint of bittersweet chocolate. Gentle spices. Alcohol is well mastered. Very light smoke.

Finish

Lingering. Drying on ground ginger and a gentle astringency.

Comment

Medicinal without the smoke. I am surprised it is a Talisker. Excellent though but it could easily be a cousin of Laphroaig!
