Nose
Yeast, sherry, leaves—mostly yeast though off the top. The sourness moves in the direction of aspirin and there's a touch of farmy peat and some putty and glue as well. With more time it's more vegetal (closer to contemporary ex-bourbon Tobermory). A drop of water pushes the yeasty/vegetal complex back and emphasizes the peat.
Palate
The yeast does not follow through onto the palate, or at least it's not as pronounced. Peatier here and the sherry notes (old coins, leaves, salted nuts) are more prominent. The texture is very good—much richer than contemporary whiskies at 43%. With more time some fruit pops out (citrus) and it gets even peatier (tobacco) and then quite peppery. Water doesn't do anything good here—mostly thins out the texture.
Finish
Long. The yeasty note returns more strongly here with a turn towards malt and digestive biscuits. Some leafy smoke at the end. The pepper builds here too with time picking up some charred wood. As on the palate with water.
