Nose - Campfire smoke, earthy peat, light green apple juice.
Taste - Apple/white grape juice concentrate sweetness, campfire ash, white pepper spice.
Finish - Long lingering white pepper spice, campfire ash turns slightly sour/iodine, more artificially sweetened apple juice.
Score - 69/100
Final Thoughts - Not being a huge fan of peated Scotches, this wasn't horrible. It has more of a dry peat versus the wet, rubber, band-aid, heavy iodine of other Islays. That being said, this seems quite one-dimensional as it has a singular tasting sweet mixed with campfire smoke/ash. The finish is a bit disappointing as it transitions slightly into the type of peat I'm not particularly fond of.
