Gold color. Aromas of oak library shelves, figs and dates, salted caramel, and suede with a fat body and a very long spiced plum, figs, and dates, delicate and salty peat smoke, berry compote on short bread, and tobacco and leather finish. A soap opera in a glass, equal parts high drama and mouthwatering satisfaction; an endearing and top notch Islay malt with fabulous integration and balance.
