It starts with the smell of seaside mixed with smoke and sweet tones of honey and fruit. Taste starts fresh, fruity, almost tropical, but then the peat smoke kicks in with also tones of the sea (jodium). The short finish is salt, a little bit dry, with a mild peppy end. It is a nice whisky that almost drinks as lemonade, something you regret next morning...

You can clearly smell the seaside together with smoke, leather and a bit vanilla. Taste is mild, a bit briny, sticky, oily, and peat smoke. Finish is smoky and a bit tart in the middle but ends with a nice taste of smoke and leather that seems to stick in your mouth forever. Very nice and complete whisky.

Reviewed December 10, 2015 (edited February 6, 2016)Very nice although I find it difficult to describe. You can smell the smoke and the salt sea but also nuts and hay and barley. Soft, smooth and elegant taste, a bit oily and again smoke and sea moving towards more bitter and spicy. Very long intense and delicious finish. -
Complex, deep and round smell with notes of peat smoke, sherry, toffee, pine needles, linseed oil, old leather, tar and a bit salty. Taste is sweet, sticky, greasy, smoky with tones of peat, barley, leather, sherry, olives, bbq. Finish is long and a little bit dry with sweet honey, peat smoke, sirup, malt, caramel. Very nice rich, smoky and oily whisky.

Nice smell of smoke and peat, ash, salt and sweet honey. Taste is complex, massive, round, sweet with honey, peat smoke, orange, vanilla and the salty ocean on a dark stormy winter day. The finish is soft and sweet, starts a bit pungent folowed by peat smoke and the salty ocean. Overall a full, rich and smoky whisky.
