Nosing: vanilla, caramel, orange peel, floral (Peony), oak, smokiness (not much of it). Fantastic aroma! Pleasant and gentle.

Taste: completely different than the nose. Very powerful, although very pleasant as well. Sweet! Chocolate, orange, vanilla, almonds. The alcoholic content is perfectly hidden.

Finish: long, warming, caramel, a little smokey aftertaste.

Balance: It's an Islay Whisky. Some of Islay-Malt-Lovers could be surprised by the peat level... but it's definitely worth to try. Delicious and pleasant. Good, affordable price for such a fantastic quality.

Comment: 46,3% ABV, non-chill filtered, natural colour. One of my very favorite Whiskies. Only 3 PPM - it makes it very gentle. I will always come back to this fantastic Islay Single Malt. 92/100
