Deep, rich, chocolaty, not too heavy on the peat.

Insanely overrated

Nose: smoked meats, caramel, brine, with a bit of apple or pear. Palate: acrid peat but not too bitter, a bit salty with next to no sweetness. Leaves a nice smokey after taste that begs for another sip. Overall: A very approachable Islay single malt for at a good price point. Not as heavy on the peat as some other Islays so is a good introduction to the region.

Amazing! Lemon and honey, peaty, long, mellow finish. Outstanding.
