Nose: Sherry, beer, coconut, salted butter, vanilla and mint. Some very slight smokiness.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, thickens in the mouth. Egg white, mouth coating.
Tasting: Sweet. Cookie dough, vanilla, sherry, cream. Hints of smoke and tobacco leaf.
Finish: Medium length. Peanuts, some tamarind, slightly astringent.

Comments:

Subdued, but stimulates the mouth gently. The flavour hits are like little pokes, especially the tobacco hints. When not concentrating quite a lot of the complexity in the whisky is lost. Definitely not a quick drinking whisky - rewards concentration. Also good with nuts.

Verdict:

I like this.
