Nose: Rich in malt and barley notes. Gentle touch of sweet smoke. With time also citrus and salt.

Taste: Rich and easy going. More smokiness now, but it's still sweet. Ashes and soot. A little pepper. Tangerines and pear.

Finish: Medium to short finish. Much the same, but it becomes somewhat less sweet and somewhat more "green". The peatiness is increasingly prominent.

Comment: Tall and dark.
