Nose

Rather smoky for the age, somewhat fruity (apples, canned pineapples), coastal motives (clams, brine, wet stones), vanilla and pepper mix, sweet grapefruit zest

Palate

Spicy (black pepper and ginger), vanilla custard, lemon curd, some orchard berries, light minerality with salty caramel notes, bonfire, smoked fish, tender oak at the end

Finish

Medium-long, smoky, earthy, peppery, with notes of old leather and green tea

Conclusion

Nice whisky but a kind of disappointment for this age. Quite simple, complexity is basically missing. Also it is quite smoky for the age. However, superbly balanced and very quaffable: creamy and somewhat fruity. Rather overpriced for this quality.
