This whisky is interesting but it makes me just want something smokier. I think if I were going to reach for this, then I would rather have an Islay. Nose: Burning leaves, brine, vanilla, lemon Palate: Vanilla, salt, lemon, slight smoke, pepper, savory, Finish: Medium, slight smoke and ash Mouthfeel: Slightly thin, but overall nothing detracting from the whisky.
