Tasting Note
[Nose:] Oily, slapped-on-all-over-with-a-trowel-peat that leaves nothing uncoated. A lovely salty tang gives an extra tweak. [Taste:] Amazing, grassy, salivating sweetness of the malt on one level; lip-smacking, chewy, gently oiled peat on another, soft traces of cocoa where they meet. [Finish] More moderate, thoughtful spice than of old, with a gentle fruitiness in the ascendancy as the fade begins, massaged, of course, by the most subtle of smoke. [General comment:] Close your eyes and enjoy. Score - 94. (Jim Murray, Whisky Bible, 2007)
