Nose
Grand, umami nose on roast beef, dried ham, lots of earthy notes, dried leaves, origin chocolate with a mildly spicy side (think cinnamon and pepper, but also oregano). Conspicuously devoid of sweetness, in my opinon. Arbroath Smokies, soya sauce, coffee grounds. Only after a few moments I get some hints of raisins and plums. Quite special, but Caol Ila is totally unrecognizable.
Palate
Surprisingly soft on the palate with a lovely creamy body. Immediately pretty peaty with sweet and sour notes, while a hint of plasticine and seaweeds takes your taste buds hostage. The spices are more outspoken now and next to pepper and cinnamon I also get some vanilla and cloves. Roasted hazelnuts, smoked fish, raw meat and rough sea salt. I am loving this to bits. The sweetness keeps you guessing, but midpalate some plum liqueur and brown sugar reveal itself. Again quite incognito.
Finish
The finish is extremely long, somewhat drying on salted meat and espresso. Candied orange peel at the death!
