Nose
My gran had a pocket in her raincoat, usually filled with aniseed balls - it noses like my gran's cagoule pocket - in a good way.
Palate
flora & fruity notes you'd expect from Linkwood, but the Octave sherryness works like t-cut on your car.
Finish
apart from being epic, whiskies like this remind me of how lucky I am to be in this industry.
