The younger age and lack of sherry aging bring this scotch closer to Ardbeg 10. Its scents are mild smoke, lemon rind, petrichor, and a wildflower bouquet. The palate features smoke, iodine, lemon again, cured ham, and some cereal grains. The finish is hookah smoke, citrus, and flower stems. The price varies a lot but, at $60 or so, seems like a good value, right in the same category as Ardbeg 10 or Kilchoman Machir Bay.
