Online tasting note for reference:

Nose: starts a bit heady, with brass polish, orange peels and sour tangerines, along with dried herbs and resin. Maybe a faint winey touch. Then darker dried fruits appear (prunes, raisins), as well as tobacco leaves, cedar wood and wet earth underneath. Subtle sooty and tarry notes. Hints of salty sea spray and old waxes too.

Palate: any hesitation is now gone – this is brilliant. Proper old Oloroso, with carbon papers and some diesel-like notes, flints, leather and linseed oil. A nice hint of tangerine juice and lemon peels again. Then drops of mint essence, soot and brake fluid. Smoked meats. Some herbal extracts, along with beautiful tobacco until the very end. There’s a sharp edge to it, but if anything it emphasises the wild character of this distillery.

Finish: very long, oily and rich, with hints of herbal liqueurs, earthy smoke and leather. Hints of cracked pepper and some medicinal notes.
