Tastes

Very light oak on the nose. Not high ABV. Doesnt blow out your nostrils. On flavor its bright. You get that peatiness but its not overwhelming. This is far from my preferred region/style, BUT if you are looking for a gateway Islay scotch, this is your label. With a small rock its easy to enjoy. Much less permanent marker and just mild peat flavors. Medium charcoal finish

Woodsy and maybe caramel on the nose (neat). After first taste I get vanilla. Strong. Hits strong at first, then goes away (smooth) then you feel it a bit deep in your chest (neat not on ice). Not bad or burning, just slightly more than warm. Back end is a bit like caramel, almost like a Werther's original (at least on a block of ice).
