Nose: Roasted Marshmallows, Leafy, Lawn Clippings?, Smoke Salmon, Old Moist Wood Smell like walking by an Old wood Shed/Old Lakeside/Seaside Cottage, find this old wood smell leads to a Vanilla, Seaweed (Of course). Definetly a salted meat smell PEAT
Briny, Wet sock also... SMOKE DUH
31/33
Palate: Salty, Ashy, Delicious, Pepper, Bitter, Overly-Steeped Tea, Astringent, It is sweet but I would say it is a sharp Oaky Vanilla Sweet not so much a Caramel sweet might be some underlying Caramel. Undercooked Peas. Herbal, Taste like burnt flower garden if that was possible.
29/34
Finish: Medium-Long
The exhale through the nose you just smell ocean side campfire very amazing. Just bring back memories.
30/33
When to drink ? Definetly by a campfire, by a body of water, dock, beach, lake. This whisky will help you bring back good memories when you enjoy it again the aroma is very strong.
Any special occasion is good this is a Light Whiskey, I'd enjoy anytime on its own or with some Salty foods or fatty cuts of meat. Put it in a flask and take anywhere. The smell and flavour is so strong you can enjoy it from any glass.
Want something similiar obviously any Laphroaig is good, of course Ardbeg 10 is similiar. Want something Caol Ila, Talisker will be Richer, Lagavulin much Richer.
Definetly a classic whisky for peated whisky lovers or for those taking a step up from Bowmore.
My points
90/100
4/5 Stars
Cheers let's go for another.
