The frigid temperatures continue to have me craving the smoky stuff. Picked this up to see if a quality Islay malt can be had for less than $40. Smoke and some fruit on the nose. A hint of salt. Full bodied mouthfeel. On the palette, there is spice and a hint of vanilla, a hint of citrus, a hint of sea air, the key word here is "hint." It's all overwhelmed by an unpleasant spent charcoal smoke. Nothing like a campfire. Caramelized sugar on the finish but it fades into some sourness. Just seems young and unfinished, will not re-purchase. The Glasgow blend from Great King St. is a better value at this price point.
