----------
Online Tasting Note for reference-

Nose-
This was definitely sweeter and more rounded, with prunes and raisins, adding a bit of fruitiness on top of the Lapsang tea and tarry notes. Chocolate and tobacco.

Palate-
Dark and sweet fruits again. Blackberries, plums, mixing nicely with powerful peaty notes, coal ash and saline touches. Caramelized nuts. Also oranges and sour cherries, as well as a light vegetal and herbal edge. A more multifaceted whisky.

Finish-
Long, rich, on chocolate, herbs and leather.
