It's good, and I dare not say this wasn't enjoyable, but the Islay Barley is a better expression. Here is a much more subdued whisky, with a nose that is regretfully quite weak. Regardless, with enough strain one can tease out hints of honey and phenolic compounds. The texture, body, and finish are unfortunately weak, with a rubbery finish. It all sounds negative, but it gets 4 stars because I did not find myself ambivalent as to its flavor. Rather, I much enjoyed it. Cheers!
