Nose: Sea water, a bit of sweetness, peat smoke Taste: Good complexity for the price. A slight burn, no bite. First it is salty, sea water, mud, a little bit of sweetness appears, a tad bit spiciness, then a good amount peat smoke appears. Delicious. Finish: Short finish mostly smoke and tar. The smoke stays for long. Summary: A superb blended scotch for the price. I think this is one of the best value whiskeys you can buy, period. Very tasty and takes you for a ride. Recommended
