Light peat, animal crackers, ginger candy, vanilla cream, and lemon cookies marry in a subtle yet enticing nose. In the palate, it's a peated Bunnahabhain: not as muscular as the distilleries on the southern end of Islay but still the star of the show. It's a peppery, briny peat that brings deep coastal air, seaweed, and grilled fish together with biscuits, custard, and citrus fruits. The finish is long with the peat finally assuming total control, ending its dominance with a long, salty sustain.

This basically tastes like what it is, peated Bunnahabhain. It's not heavy or overly smoky, but the peat smoke and some oceanic flavors of iodine and brine are there along with some sweetness typical of this distillery. It is nice and smooth - I definitely like it.

A beautiful whiskey. NCF, NC. Looks grand in the glass. A pale lemony yellow. A no BS pour. Smells, tastes and finishes a perfect combination of beach and citrus. Smooth. One could drink this all day. No water. No ice. Enjoy it as is. 46.3%. Delicious.

Surprisingly good out of the gate (I didn’t think much of the 12 year). Peaty but light, with subtle sweetness and some saltiness/medicinal quality, which is a bit too much in the backend.
