Islay Gold 10 Year Islay Single Malt

Uncorking and blind tasted with 4 islay. lost smoke immediately in the glass leaving a faint sea air and peat but mild. Almost candied taste, buttery, tastes bourbon barreled? Sweetness and oak really come through with buttery richness. Taste the oak too mid palatw. No bite at all but it does a warm hug going down. Really easy to drink. Smooth but not overly complex. Oily. Finish doesn't linger a lot but is salted buttery sweet popcorn 10 ft from a fire on the beach.

Very little afterburn

Very well balanced for a 10 year old Islay whisky. The smokey peat is dominant, but doesn't completely overwhelm you. Full round mouthfeel and the finish is pleasant and lingering.
