Overall One note peat , some smoke
Based on quick sample Tasting
Evokess: your favorite old wool sweater and a hug from your father.
Not particularly complex, but a nice blend of peat and vanilla. Slightly oily with a creamy base.
Tasted side by side with the Caol Ila 12
Nose: Fruitier than the 12, to be expected, less harsh. It’s actually a lovely nose, almost buttery and vanilla! But subtle peat throughout. Was less aggressive than the 12.
Taste: Lovely
Conclusion: If you want a mellow Islay you can’t go wrong here! Smoke and peat but not going to knock you out!
