Fruity nose of apples, oranges, Fruit Stripe gum. Just a hint of smoke. Palate is not as fruity as the nose implied, and smokier than advertised. Medium-to-full bodied. Hmm... I do like this and it's great whisky, but I feel like I've tasted this a number of times before (I haven't). Finish has nice waves, with the fruit I was looking for surging forward after a moment. In retrospect I would have expected more from this, more "character" perhaps, but it's a very nice peated whisky nonetheless. Love that finish.

EDIT: Don't tell the Duke that what we gave him was actually a young, lightly-peated Caol Ila. 

N: Lots o peat, typical iodine and sea aromas, orange rind, lapsang souchong, dried salt flat. Water brings out sweeter fruit aromas -- cherries. 

P: Peat, bitter seaweed, charcoal, turns a little sour. Water makes it a bit better. Cherries.  But still not awesome. 

F: Bitter.  Maybe a oxidized pour from a mini-bottle. Little disappointing.
