- Excerpt: It's fine - nothing too wildly impressive or complex. Fruity, smokey then sweet. I can't help but wish that this was closer to cask strength and maybe that would have pushed this from forgettable and plain, but still good, to a great whiskey.

Nose:
RIch sherry, honey, molasses, toffee, figs, raspberry jam, strawberries
-
Taste:
Thin mouthfeel but sweet and definitely sherried. Toffee, vanilla, strawberry and raspberry jam. NO sulfur. Peat sneaks in and grows over time. Nice mild ashy peat
-
Finish:
More mild smoke here, growing a little bitter. Faint fruit and some mild sweet and pepper
-
Overall:
It's fine - nothing too wildly impressive or complex. Fruity, smokey then sweet. I can't help but wish that this was closer to cask strength and maybe that would have pushed this from forgettable and plain, but still good, to a great whiskey. I'm giving this a Rank 5 as a result.
