September 02, 2018 at Darby’s Gastown in Vancouver. Well now, this is an Islay whiskey, but not what I'm used to. There's smoke here, but on a whole lighter note. Thus is nice indeed. The smoke, such as it is, is quite subtle and muted. There's a huge and subtly sweet malted background here that almost defies description. Very intoxicating, even on the nose.
