Colour: deeper gold, medium oily

Nose: back sticks, deep caramel, medicinal touches, white ashes, peat notes, yet very light. A very mice nose.

Mouth: depth of peat, medicinal oils, spicy peat, leather, burnt meat, sweet smoked bacon, bitter notes. Very meat smoke and sweet/slaty notes. Very interesting indeed.

Finish: lingering peatyness, a tad laphroig-ish, very long smooth peaty finish.

C-. Pricewise, it's one of the most ''acceptable'' of the range. Yet it remains out of reach for the normal consumer. As far as Ledaig goes, simply buy the NAS one, its like 60-70$.
A. for presentation. *see others*
A- for taste. Very good whisky indeed. Very complex, meat smoke and peat. Yet, I'm not sure I'd enjoy a full bottle of this...
