The nose is dried flowers, potpourri, isopropyl alcohol, sherry and oak casks; Cherrywood. The aroma is a lot of finished wood and heavy alcohol fumes. Tastes of heavy rock salt, with a dash of white pepper. The burn on the palate is no joke. Bittersweet sherry and Bing cherry. It's got a grainy component that reminds me of a thick Barleywine in beer parlance. The finish is is tiramisu, custard, vanilla creme, dried fruit peel, on a surprisingly delicate and creamy body. This one slaps you across the face and then politely apologizes.

Nose: Hint of smoke and salt, Brine, subdued sherry sweetness. The coast comes to mind. Very pleasant. Palate: Sweet and Salty, a bit dry, almost like liqorice root. You can Still taste the Sherry. Finish: Just fantastic. Spices start to flow, Pepper, you can definitely feel the heat. It soon gives way for some brine which then fades into sherry sweetness and lingers for a bit. You can feel the dryness on your tounge and top of the mouth. Thoughts: This whiskey takes you on a taste journey that's absolutely fantastic. For This Price it must be One of the best whiskeys in its class.

★★★★ Un Islay intéressant! Cette soirée se termine avec ce whisky peu fumé des Islay. Malheureusement, les deux whiskys précédents étaient si intenses et puissants qu'ils sont venus cacher les saveurs de ce scotch. Malgré tout, j'ai bien aimé le côté salin et iodé de ce produit. Je vais le réessayer quand je vais aller faire un tour chez mon frère.
