Finish: Medium. Burning leaves, peat, smoke, honey, lemon zest. 

Comments: 

Quite malty but laden with autumn flavours, burning leaves, smoke, and peat. Bitter and complex. A little more fruit would be good, I’m probably less of a nail varnish fan than most. Still, a rather good dram. 

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
