Nose: More waxy and purer than the 2000 vintage, with apples, pears, unripe mango, slightly salty, capers and olives.
Palate: Waxy and salty, soft woody spices, citrus peel, green apple, kumquat and chrysalis.
Finish: Lots of brine enveloping waxy texture, dried currants, star anise and orange peel.

The enjoyable tension here is between waxy, salty character and the brighter fruit: apple and citrus keep the brine from taking over. Capers and olives make the nose a little unusual, but the palate’s soft woody spice sounds like a steady counterpoint rather than another competing voice. I’m drawn to that clear contrast; it gives the fruit something interesting to play against. A characterful Highland single malt, with enough familiar apple and citrus to keep its saltier side approachable. Nothing about this sounds like it needs a long explanation—though “briny wax” is not exactly a pub-menu phrase.
