I also might use a few drops of water to enhance and release more flavors.
Let’s see if it can surprise me and that hopefully in a positive way

Appearance:
Color: Straw and clear. Semi oily as the streaks flow down the glass wall medium slow.

Nose: 86/100 points
First thing I get are sweet and bright fruity notes. AS expected the vanilla shows up combined with flavors of young, green oak. A bit later malt notes show up and some hay notes which turn into floral notes after a while

Taste: 86/100 points
Strong but sweet start. Here the high ABV kicks in right at the beginning. then the vanilla flavor come through together with the hay flavors which here appear to be more noticeable compared to the nose. Now on the palate it also appears to be more fruity since a bunch of bright fruits step forward, lying in a bowl made from young green oak. A bit in the background some nuts can be found.

Finish: 85/100 points
the finish is mainly malty sweet with some nuts and vanilla. Not much more flavors I find here. The length I would describe as medium long.

Conclusion:
Many of the aspects and flavors from this Whisky fulfilled my expectations. It is once again a nice Ex-Bourbon cask from the IB Blackadder. You can’t do anything wrong with this Whisky. If you think that the ABV is too high for you, then I recommend to add some water. It takes the kick a bit out of it and enhances the sweet and bright fruit flavors. Also the malty and nutty flavors step more to the front.

Overall I give this Whisky: 86/100 WhiskyYoda points

Remarks:
Based on the profile, I would guess a it is a Lagavulin.
Very nice whisky. But needs some time to breathe and open up

Overall I rate this Whisky:

• Nose:
  light maritime smoke, citrus fruits, some caramel, green apple, some salty sea breeze, a few herbs, malt. later the smoke appears more ashy
  
  
• Taste:
  sweet and slightly smoky maritime. Apple, vanilla, caramel. Lots of herbs, a bit salty and a ginger spiciness comes through. Lots of bright fruits. Later becoming oily
  
  
• Finish:
  Sweet fruity finish with light maritime smoke. Crunchy and warming
