Online tasting note for reference:

Aroma:
The impression is unexpectedly fresh for the whiskey’s age. A citrus sweetness, perhaps more the aroma of lemon zest, mixes with honey and beeswax. Then the typical Islay note comes through, first in the form of slightly smoked sunflower seeds, then clearly greasy, with grapefruit and spicy oak wood notes.

Taste:
Fruity currants meet the smoked bacon and oak spice that are already present in the nose. Cinnamon sticks roasted over a wood fire combine with cranberries and a slight spiciness of ginger cream. Old leather and a strong note of coffee complement the aroma. Later, notes of unripe plums and dark chocolate gain the upper hand.

Finish :
long, with dry wood spice, smoky plum crumble and a slight cinnamon spiciness.
