    90
    Color
    amber
    Nose
    Smoky, with some peat, nougat and cookie-dough. Slightly briny.
    Body
    Full, chewy.
    Palate
    Nougat and caramel are followed by smoke, some salt, a whiff of sherry, chocolate, ripe banana. Definitely some wood as well.
    Finish
    Lang and dry. Salty, peaty and smoky, some nutty flavours (almonds?) and wood.

    Lovely evening malt. The nougaty flavours are unique, for as far as I kow, and realy pleasant. The peat and smoke are less prominent here than in the 12 yrs old Enigma, but definitely present in a refined way. Best savoured neat or with a little water.
