Nose: Rather strong with medicinal / Antiseptic notes, turmeric, and maybe even some bandages and hospital wards.. It’s really medicianal for a non Islay, isn’t it? Weird, and nice in a way.

Palate: Not as fierce as the nose suggested, but still there’s a nice interplay between medicinal / peppery , spicy gingery notes taking place here, with the cereals mixing in nicely, pears too, and that earthy / turmeric note as well. Young it is, but the oak and peat work well together, and the wood does not over-dominate.

Finish: Pepper, earth, ginger and grass, with an indian sort of spice that goes a long way. And I love Indian.
