Islay whiskies are my bag, baby. But this makes an awesome change. Delightfully medicinally, the iodine in this is different. Good different. This is a lovely whisky. Won’t find much better in this price range.

A little peaty not smoky, maybe some Carmel notes

Almost a perfect balance of peat and smoke combined with sweetness. The nose shows off the sherry casks used to mature it. The palate presents with smoke quickly followed by caramel, grass, and pineapple. The sherry shows up again on the finish. Very well balanced and rounded.

A hint of smokiness and a smooth earthy flavor.

Fruity and smokey with a reasonably sharp, but polite aftertaste

Smooth, light peat
