Very distinctive, light nose. Plenty of barley character plus notes of walnuts and grapes.
Medium mouthfeel. That walnut character continues, joined by some char, a faint mossiness, mint, tobacco and tea.
A beautiful, long finish highlights the pour, delivering plenty of tea, cinnamon, clove, almond and tobacco.
Delightful single malt.
