Dram

Nose: Wet stones, gooseberries, lemon zest, yoghurt, ink, iron filings, strawberry laces. 
Mouthfeel: Light body, hot, astringent, tingly. 
Tasting:  Bitter sour. Peat, iron filings, gooseberries, wet stones, ink, lemon zest, pears, hints of roast beef. 
Finish: Medium. Pears, gooseberries, ink, lemon zest. 

Comments: 

Fruity, astringent, but retains a bitter, slightly metallic note. There’s a meatiness to this whisky, but it’s delicate and probably present only as a faint note on the back palate.

Verdict:

I like this.
