--------------
Online tasting note for reference:

Nose:
Banana and green apple greet the nose, joined by vegetable peat mixed with sugar paste with just a hint of toast. Vanilla, pineapple, apricot, grapefruit and shoe polish creep in among the aromas, with a drop of honey and a whiff of sea foam . An unusual nose for the distillery, picking up sweet and acidic veins.

Palate:
In the mouth, the peatiness initially starts in the background, putting spices (ginger, aniseed) and fruit (orange, banana, apple, pineapple) in the foreground, but with time the smokiness emerges with more conviction, enveloping the flavours in which the presence of grapefruit and rougher tones of leather and tobacco grow. The taste is oily with crispness from which herbaceous and floral scents also emerge.

Finish:
The finish is quite long and herbaceous with sugar paste, banana, lemon, peat and spices.
