N- Walnut oil, oyster, toffee and honeycomb cake breeze thru. Fresh cut grass, earthy peat with sweet pandan crème brûlée and berries. Surprisingly light on nose despite the hefty strength. Get even coast-ier, seaweed, salted herbs, shellfish and clove-y. (88/22)
P- Sweet on tip, plenty of smokes rises from the back. Vanilla biscuit, cedar cigar box, sooty, grassy and liquorice with brunt salt. Hint of caol ila. (87/21)
F- Medium-long, smooth, clean and dry with liquorice. Not pushing the boundary hard enough. (86/20)
B/B- 87/21. Feel rounder than First Edition, which lost a bit of fun and appeared 'generic'.
Cr- 2, Fr- 2, Fl- 1, Pt- 2, Ft- 1, Sp- 0, Wd-1, Wn-1, Sc-2
