Tastes

Nose: lightly sweet and peaty Palate: surprisingly light and watery mouthfeel that burns slightly towards the end. Not much here except smoky peat and strong wood notes. Finish: feels like drinking an ashtray. I can see why many dislike this whisky, but I sometimes find myself in the mood for its blatant ash-like smokiness.

Nose: more sweet than peaty. Palate: smoky peat dominates; not much else comes through. Finish: surprisingly light and smooth, nothing stands out too much. Beyond the peat (which was not as overwhelming as the name might suggest), I didn't find much to enjoy here.

Nose: sea salt, vanilla, some smokiness Palate: saltiness hits first, then some peppery smokiness Finish: spice & pepper, oak Not a huge fan of such salty whiskies, but it might go well with certain foods.
