This Islay has a profile like a glendronach. Love the sweet sherry influence and I get this weird ashy dark fruit finish and I love it but kind of one note sweet sherry bomb but rather have a cask strength aberlour abundah or other cask strength sherry bombs

Ok. Sweet

Sehr salzige Duft, angenehm im trinken erinnert eher an einen Whisky aus den heiden

Tried neat again, but this time let it breathe about 15, then 30, minutes first. Sold on that! Bumps up the sweetness (right off the bat as well as throughout), vanilla, and total score for me. Less thin mouthfeel, the oiliness remains, and the spice I liked when tasted neat (as opposed to over ice, which weakened that significantly) is there; slightly less concentrated, but only slightly. https://www.mashed.com/187313/why-you-need-to-let-your-whiskey-breathe/

Trying over a (v small) block of ice as recommended. Accentuates the sweetness and oiliness. Doesn't feel as thin, but does activate the nose (and back of tongue/mouth) much more. Still plenty of burn on the end. Taste more of the suggested vanilla and nut notes than when straight. Miss some of the spice complexity, but otherwise much prefer. Will see next time if a couple drops of water turn the same trick.

Still trying neat. Sherry influence, check. Sweet up front. Somehow thin *with* oily mouthfeel. No real peat, smoke, or vanilla. Some saltiness, but the heat/spice kicks in quickly to wash that away. Want to try on ice next.
