Nose
very mineral and citric, taut, dry peat smoke, dried herbs, lanolin, and some softer cereal notes. Drying, wonderfully chiselled, sharp and even a little waxy. Great, old school Orkney charisma!

Finish
long, more floral now, still very mineral, and still with this nicely balanced peat smoke and coastal freshness.
