    Smoke and pepper. Slight burn full strength. Lemon, Floural. Grassy.
    Body
    Full bodied. Hot and dry.
    Palate
    Smoke, Pepper, Lemon, Wood, Lots of peat. More smoke with water.
    Finish
    Soooo good. Peat lightning. Pepper. Beatifully balanced right to the end. Lasts forever at full strength and with extra wood.

    This took be by surprise. It is the most heavily peated speyside i've ever drank. It was as maritimey as the strongest Islay. Be carefull if you're looking for a floural fruity speyside, but I loved every bit of it none the less.

    Bitter, Burnt wood, Smoke.
    Finish
    Long and thin, but good in that all the flavours are represented and last a long time.

    I might not drink it again, but it was exciting as it was. Worth tasting.
