Not a bad whisky by any means but for the price and reputation of this distillery, I am not that impressed

Nose

Quite a subtle peated nose but also surprisingly sweet, initially fresh fruits but gets increasingly darker

Body

Definitely a lot of oomph but surprisingly hot for a 22yo whisky, prunes, dark fruits, surprisingly sweet with water added, but also gets spicier

Finish

Slightly bitter finish, shorter than I expected although the bitterness does linger
