Overall
Score

Nose
Exotic,suggestive of Japan. Resin,sap and sandalwood. Black banana, dry roasted spices/ white pepper/black cardamom and a hit of pomegranate\rmolasses. Complex and multifaceted.
Palate
That mix of brininess,lanolin plus very pure fruits and added exotic spice (nutmeg especially). Then,in the\rmiddle of mouth,a peat bomb adding another layer of flavour.
Finish
Long,complex.
Comment
Powerful yet elegant. A yokozuna of malt whisky.
