Many thanks to Jonathan and Darren at the Scotch Malt Whisky Society for a taste of this. There's a chemical twist in the nose which Darren identified as Dulux paint. I agree, but think of it more as slate, or warm stones after the rain. There's also a massive hit of peaches throughout the whisky, from nose to mouth to nose again. Pleasant drinking.

Verdict:

I like this.
