Nose The aroma amalgamates coastal elements with peat and sherry in a Highland style.
Palate Coffee and salt are very present with a hint of peat and some sweeter notes of caramel in the background.
Finish The finish is hot and spicy and clings on for some time.
Overall This great blended whisky is a challenge and that's a compliment. It forces the drinker to take stock and appreciate its many elements. Superb!
