Some speyside peated whiskys are great, but some others, not so much. The nose on this guy is inviting with a young peat smoke, lemon, vanilla, lavender, and green apples. The palate is spot on without the twang, with more incoming peat smoke, met with medium mouth coating cream, herbal properties, slight medicinal and brine. The finish is medium length, salty, and dry. This would be a great beach sipper. The theme to this dram is should be "Surfin' Safari" by the Beach Boys. I think a 3.75 is in order. Thanks @Scott_E for the sample!
