Aroma : Thick peat lets you know you're dealing with a serious Islay single malt. Then a fruitier, creamier feel - soft, rich oak, soothing custard and vanilla. But don't get too comfortable - this is just the beginning.

Taste : Tie yourself up and wait for the oily, black smoke with a rich, heavy, peaty mouthfeel. Then comes a sweet, sticky taste of grilled banana (yes, really), tangy sultanas and dried fruit. I told you it was different.

Finish : The peat returns, just as you hoped/feared it would. This time it brought an authentic Spanish sherry oak, pleasant and worryingly sweet. And a final sharp, salty reminder that you're not dealing with the ordinary here.
