If you're a fan of Island whiskies, this is the blend for you. The nose is assertively salty and briny, with sweet vanilla and an undercurrent of smoke. The palate delivers the promises made on the nose - this is full of coastal brine, with moderate peat, vanilla sweetness, and a dry, almost bitter, herbal finish. It's an enjoyable dram, though I'm not sure I'd take it over some similarly priced single malts in the Island/Islay categories. That said, I'm also not going to say no to a dram of it, either...
