Dram

Nose: New plastic, malt vinegar, autumn leaves, smoke, sea salt, vanilla, coconut cream. With water, lemon zest, lemon sweets, sultanas, hints of soy sauce. 
Mouthfeel: Heavy body, static, astringent, hot.

Finish: Medium. Smoke, diesel exhaust, lemon zest, peat, leather. 

Comments: 

Complex and chemical, lots of creamy sweetness abounds, with a citrusy bite. All this is wreathed in huge amounts of smoke and diesel exhaust. Very complicated whisky, unusual for such a young dram.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
