A soft but "dark" nose, as if both ex-sherry and heavily charred ex-bourbon casks had been used. Lots of roast aromas (coal, ash, char, coffee etc.) alongside a soft, jammy fruitiness - mainly red berries. The smoke is there, but it, too, is rather soft and never dominates. In a sense, this is a unicorn: a well-balanced, harmonious malt from idiosyncratic Edradour. Okay, there's still a farmy aspect to the smoke, but overall, this borders on the dreaded "smooth." I'm actually not mad at this! Pretty decent for its price segment.

Very (and I mean: very) soft on arrival. Sweet and spicy initially, with the smoke coming up big about halfway through and the wild berries and red-fruit jams wafting along in the background. Again: not half bad! Super sippable and lusciously sweet, but a residual bitterness in the background (acrid smoke) prevents it from getting outright cloying.

More than okay for its age. Of course the peat smoke lingers the longest, but it's accompanied for a good long while by earthy, herbacious notes and soft but lovely echoes of juicy refill sherry casks.
