"...ususal markers are sort of toned down here but the result is still beautiful. Superb notes of walnuts and chestnut honey, slightly burnt cake, myrtle... Superb again. Mouth: creamy, powerful, rather nervous, probably not as complex as on the nose but highly drinkable. Gets minty, with notes of cough sweets, ripe pineapples, banana liqueur... And then the resin and finally the peat and the pepper that won the fight, with a very long and bold finish." (93pts-Whiskyfun)
