Nose: classic Caol Ila at first, with mild, ashy Islay peat (gentle after the Millstone). Coastal notes, sea spray and hints of tarry ropes. Then honey and marzipan come out. Vanilla and buttercups. Subtle menthol and noticeable rubbery notes.

Mouth: sweeter than a classic Caol Ila now, with much more honey at first, as well as candied fruits and some mocha. Butterscotch. Still this rubbery side, as well as sweet smoke and creamy milk chocolate. A lightly pickled edge too.

Finish: medium, with smoke and ashes coming to the front, alongside dried fruits.
