Some slightly more bitter notes towards the end, but still keeping up with those powerful sweet notes, too. that biting, tangy note of fresh green apple is still running through the whole thing. The bitter notes remind me of Amaro, orange bitters, rye spice, and more ginger notes. you could even go into this bitter, dark chocolate note as well. An incredibly complex spirit with so many things going on. And at the same time, so typically Islay.
