Nose is apples, berries, wine, wood. Taste has hints of smoke, salt, oiliness. This is an easy drinker as far as Islays go but still interesting. Better with a few drops of water.

Sweet malty sherry overtone, earthier briny undertones with some dark fruit and nuts

Sweet, fruity and powerful. Like a punch midway through.

Malt and caramel on the nose. This is a seriously malty, biscuity whiskey. It tastes like shortbread and caramel. It's got a dry, salty bite, with a drying, astringent ethanol character. I also get some rubbing alcohol. Dry and coastal, with none of the characteristic Islay smoke. This is a really delicious whiskey - it's not the crazy smokey Islay whiskey that I love, but this is a great whiskey nonetheless.

Pretty light with a touch of smoke on the finish. Nice sweet malty flavor.
