McClelland's Single Malt Islay

The nose is a mixture of vanilla and ozone. The peat on the taste isn't your typical meaty/briney Islay peat. It's more Earthy and subdued. The whisky is really quite sweet. Pear and pineapple on the taste. The faintest hint of oak reveals itself on a very short finish.

Weak peaty scotch, 40% isn't enough, it wasn't terrible, but not very good. Briney taste

I see why this has such a bad rating

I'm new to the Scotch game and figured I would try a budget single malt first. Not a big fan of all of the smoke but it finishes light. Good for sipping but I like a deeper, more rich taste.

Forward peat smoke. Low alcohol burn. Malty and somewhat fruity/floral retronasal
