A good-enough 16yo OB with a strong balanced flavorful body but the oaky/bitterness at the end definitely brings the dram down

Nose

Intense nose, mineral, salty, menthol, tropical fruits (rum cask influence), citrus

Body

Sweet, again intense & spicy much more than the 46% would suggest, oranges, pepper, honey, does runs a bit too spicy/hot if you take a big sip

Finish

Creamy & buttery finish, the spices linger, gets increasingly bitter & oaky towards the end
