Light peat, animal crackers, ginger candy, vanilla cream, and lemon cookies marry in a subtle yet enticing nose. In the palate, it's a peated Bunnahabhain: not as muscular as the distilleries on the southern end of Islay but still the star of the show. It's a peppery, briny peat that brings deep coastal air, seaweed, and grilled fish together with biscuits, custard, and citrus fruits. The finish is long with the peat finally assuming total control, ending its dominance with a long, salty sustain.
