Nose
Full-bodied aroma. A bit less complex than the Carato but also smokier. Espresso coffee, apple skin, caramel crème, little fruit. Beautiful.
Palate
Powerful, bold, nervous. Great vivacity. Initial rush of peat and wood smoke, followed by gentle sweetness with hints of spice. Vegetables (turnips?), white fruits (apples, pears, white peaches), oysters (Islay's of course), pastry, vanilla crème, lots of spices. Fabulous notes of roots (gentian, wild carrots). Complex and powerful.
Finish
Light and elegant as it ends, the last hint of smoke slowly fading out. Mint and cocoa.
