Nose
The nose is clean, but very salty and slightly medicinal. A small sweetness in the shape of almonds, litchi and red apples. Some vanilla (which becomes quite loud if you wait for it), but also a bitter edge as from walnut skins. Touch of eucalyptus in the background. Citrus, naturally. The smokiness is not really outspoken. After five to ten minutes some toffee pushes the salt away. Complexity, anyone? This is textbook PE.
Palate
Nice arrival on sweet fruit, creamy on vanilla with a hint of pepper. Loads of salt and liquorice, ginger and lemon. The peat is sweet and delivers a nice smokiness, bigger than on the nose. The oak finds its voice. Something floral, which is quite unexpected, but works wonders.
Finish
Nice long and warm finish on salt and sugared lemon peel. What a beauty!
