Kirkland Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Expected notes of smoke and brine. Some outputting sourness on the finish. Nothing noteworthy.

⏱️: First uncorking. Let sit for about 5 minutes. 👀: Dull sheen, like unfinished metal, has some bubbles, can't tell if there are legs because I'm drinking from a plastic cup; 👃: Can't detect much smoke from the cup but you can smell it out the bottle, mostly fragrant berries and a little stonefruit; 👅: Ahh...the smoke is definitely evident here, hits you with its best shot like a boxer, fruits and toffee, oaky, can't taste it off the palate but at the finish; 🏁: Taste thankfully doesn't linger too much, finish is short, but the smoke does make you feel like Puff The Magic Dragon because it comes out your nose 👃

A lot of upfront peat, but it smooths out.
