It has a rich, ruddy, Bourbon-like color.
The nose is extremely pleasant: strawberry, dried fruit and caramelized citrus. There is no trace of peat. Without water, it hits the tongue like a mallet of sweetness and quickly evaporates into the head, leaving behind a sort of nutty impression that lasts quite awhile. The nose is as close to perfume as I have experienced in a Scotch and has a romantic feeling to me. Spring flowers are mixed with home-cooked desserts.
Water indeed releases its character. It washes over the tongue like chocolate mixed with fruit, rich and substantial, yet sweet as a cherry blossom.
The finish is quite long. Even with water, the viscosity is great. I believe this is what you call a "full-bodied" whisky. It's almost buttery.
