This is one of my favorite whiskys. The smoke is present from the nose but it’s still sweet. The sea rises on the palate with continued smoke and spiciness. Tamer that the Islay whiskys, this distillery on the Isle of Skye caught my attention after visiting. The finish is very smooth and peppery. This is full bodied and beautiful. This will be replaced in my cabinet every time it’s predecessor is depleted. A favorite.
