:

Nose
This smells absolutely fantastic! One of those whiskies that I could just nose for hours. Wood smoke, but not very dominant. Lots of citric fruits, more of the tangerine and maybe grapefruit variety. A hint of almond (oil). There's a touch of glue that stays in the background throughout. This reminds me more of an older Highland-style than it does of the modern Islay peaters.

Taste
Fat and oily with hints of wood smoke, dusty oak and a good amount of black pepper. It's still pretty smooth though. A bit chalky with some lemon and lime. Waxy too.

Finish
Raspberry, plums and lemon with a fading wood smoke and some oakiness.

Comments
There's not much left to say here other than that this is a great whisky.
