Piece of smoked bacon (maybe Benton) on the beach. That sums this Islay whiskey up.

Date-sweet and slightly smoky nose, complex palate that moves from caramel sweet and spicy, quickly to ocean salt, to peaty ash with a lot more salt. The ash and a bit of alcohol tingle are what linger. More bitter than Uigedail and less citrus fruity than 10. Definitely not an every day scotch, but nice for those that appreciate heavy peat.
