Choppy and rough. Hoping it gets better, but it doesnt. Then suddenly, it does! A few weeks ago, we took a fast ferry from Key West to Dry Tortugas National Park. If you’ve never been, its a worthwhile excursion if you have the time ( a full day). Yiu see, this national park is about 70 miles out in the ocean from Key West. That means choppy seas. Real choppy. In fact, i was able to count on one hand how many people were not throwing up ( fortunately my daughter and i had no effect). Then it gets worse. 10 foot waves crashing against out ferry, combined with a sudden tropical thunderstorm. I spent over $250 for this? Sitting in the SS VomitBucket ?!? Nothing worse for us Amercians than to see our sparse vacation days suddenly gone to sea sickness. But…all the sudden, it cleared up as we approched the island fortress. Maybe the day is saved. Yes…it is..a day of gorgeous remote island scenary. That’s like this pour. Started so damn rough. Young and medicinal peat. Just harsh. Lemons, light body, medicinal smoke , which didnt seem integrated at all. Added some water. Nope. Still the same. Added a huge piece of ice. Finally! Now we’re talking. Finally my $5 purchase of one dram paid off. Citrus flavors shine, with the smoke much better integrated—-like a young Laphroaig wanna-be. Would I buy a full bottle? No..but i like where they’re going…give it time.
