Classic Caol Ila. Such an appropriate dram when it’s barely 15 degrees F outside, and about 8 inches of fresh snow.
Campfire smoke, brine, tar…with a nice heft of grilled lemons. Young, but hides its age extremely well.
I’ve had 1 or 2 North Stars before, a relatively new IB, but they do seem to pick really good casks, most of which are quite affordable. Thanks @ContemplativeFox for generous pour !

Glad to hear it worked out. Since trying Wee Beastie, I've been nervous about Islay under 10 years old.
