It was my first true Islay whiskey.
Wow... It was just unexpected wow effect.
Never tried everything close before. I was blown away in a nice way.
Nose: strong and smoky, salty meat, sea breeze, minera citrus. You can find some fruits sweetness as well.
I felt in love instantly...
More about smell: your neighbors will know when your poure yourself a dram!
And one more: I'm the only one who found it pleasant among my family and friends...
Palate: thick and oily, smoke and salt, light and pleasant. Some sweetness and peat. Pear. Pepper at the end.
Finish: long, warm, smoky...
Everybody once in their live should try such kind of drink. You will fall in love or hate it... But you must try!
4.75 - you were my first of such kind and will remain in my memory till the end of my days... I'm sure, you probably will taste much different as I will progress in my whiskey journey. But you will remain the first one that surprised me and opened the door
A keeper for sure!
