Finally got around to tasting this one...overall a pleasant whisky. On my palate, it's VERY salty/briney. I can agree w/Distiller's notes that the brine leads the way. For me, the smoke/peat wasn't so strong, being almost overwhelmed by the brine, but not quite. In other words, the peaty, smoky notes are there, and I noticed a little band aid. It's just not as dominant as their 10 year old or Quarter Cask. I also got faint oak and just a hint of vanilla. Thought I got a little citrus at one point, but I'm not sure. I see Distiller has it at 94 and the avg. rating is 4.3 (at the time I'm writing this). I'll be in the minority on this one. I can't get above 85, or three stars. It's a good whisky, and I would buy it again, but it's not a great whisky.
