Dark-medium pilsner hue with very oily legs down the glencairn - almost unappetizing, I now understand why some add caramel coloring to their drams. Campfire and barbeque on the nose.
Taste like how you would think a malty, sherried, peated Islay would taste - rich, deep, salted caramel and campfire smoke. The peat is obviously in the center of everythint, but it is the briny malty sweetness that sets it apart from every other whisky I've ever tasted in my life. To use an analogue, this tastes like a less spicy Talisker, blended with a smokey Lagavulin, sprinkled with some wheater bourbon sweetness - amazing!
Very long, lingering finish all over the mouth, still campfire overall, with slight medicinal/iodine showing up for the first time since the nose
