Tasting Notes
"It's got the smoke, but it's missing the fire. One of the great things about Islays is they taste of the maritime influences of their surroundings, and this one is missing that depth. Even the few exceptions from the region have a real richness to them. This is very thin. Instead of the salt air, it has a citric tartness and apricot/orange aroma. In fact, it's kind of like a smoked marmalade. Finishes very hot. Considering how inexpensive it is, would have been worth charging slightly more to make it more robust and Islay-like."
