The nose is smoke, seaweed, and apples. On the palate it's full and oak smoke, but not overpowering or edgy. It finishes with a campfire and grilled pear, with a good warmth. This is not as bold as Ardbeg 10, more refined than Laphroaig 10, and reminds me of Lagavulin 8. This Islay is a good everyday peaty dram.
