Lightly smoked aromas of herbal-peat with a slightly medicinal twang. A good depth of trademark sweet fruit – pear and apricot sits behind. Hints of warm spice, honey and citrus come through along with some lightly dusty, mature oak. A lovely nose!
The palate is fuller and sweeter, opening with some tart grapefruit and the sawdusty oak. Beautifully balanced with oodles of lightly coffee accented honey. Gently smokes with some earthy peat appears as the oils build on the middle along with the alcohol. Superb intensity with the peat just a whisper. Long, fruity finish with lingering dusty spices.
With water the nose becomes maltier and dustier. Less peaty but lightly floral now with the orange notes becoming wonderfully juicy and liquidy. Late notes of tar and burnt heather emerge. The palate shows more of the sweet barley and honey. Again less peat, but the honey is beautifully luscious. Spicier too, with clove and cinnamon notes. Still quite earthy and finally a little medicinal note creeps in and lingers.
