Bacon straight away, but that then fades and gives way to warm bonfire, sweet tobacco and just a note of rubber. With more time in the glass treacle, cereal and pleasant soapiness. The palate is lead by sweet fruit and honey, then peppery heat, and an oily, woodsmoke finish. A complex and evolving whisky.

Puffs of peat smoke and pools of honey, sharpened by lemon zest.

A buttery pastry case, lightly dusted with nutmeg ready for a custard filling, or perhaps almond oil and oak shavings. Sour apples, spiced pears, ripe melon and orange peel, before an intense brown sugar sweetness builds. Apples and pastry persist on the palate, now caramelised and bitter-sweet.

Vanilla sponge cake and milk chocolate buttons straight away, giving way to caramel, oranges and sweet red apples, then with notes of tobacco and coffee beans coming through. On the palate panettone elements and a pleasant nutmeg spice in the finish.

Distillery Notes: Nose: Creamy vanilla with toasted oak spice flows ovre candy store confectionery and crisp freshly peated barley. Palate: Crisp oak and hints of candied ginger, boiled sweets and brittle toffee, all surrounded by the most deliciously sweet peat smoke.

Orange oil, vanilla pods, pear and almonds on the nose. Sweet, ginger, rose water, pears and vanilla on the palate with a sweet, spicy and slightly peppery finish.

Rich candied orange peel, fruit compote
