Faint sea salt, some moss |

Apple or pear citrus, then salt and pepper. Complex |
Smooth warm, sweet finish |
Still a very interesting dram and remains on my top 10. Love the citrus transition to salt and pepper. |

Once the esthers have faded smells like maple syrup on sausage links |
|
Spicy but when cut just a little it becomes quite sweet |
Movie popcorn if you wait long enough |
An incredibly underrated distillery. |

Toffee |
Lemongrass & iodine |
Not much legs |
Orange peel then pepper but not as sophisticated as the Balblair 21 |
It wants to be like Balblair but fails |
Overall 84, good scotch to round out a selection but not in the starting 5 or 11 depending on the sport de jour |

Way too hot. |
Not a strength |
nas could mean anything here. I think the 14 is much more focused and sure of its vector. Calls into question the Special Release series. |
