Nose
sparkling nose, rather minty. Fresh citrus on one hand, and darker, roasted notes on the other hand (coffee beans, freshly baked bread). Interesting duality. Smokey / peaty but in a rather subtle way, with a whiff of vanilla and Caol Ila's typical sweatiness as well. Delicate farmy notes when slightly warmed. Chocolate notes from the sherry cask.
Palate
mmhhh, very nice. Banana at first, sweet attack with fruity notes (oranges too) fighting the peat smoke. A serious pinch of salt and seaweed as well. Again with a toasted edge, really delicious.
Finish
peppered start with some cocoa notes. The sweetness evolves into a long, ashy aftertaste.
