Nose: Mellow, friendly, and leathery. Peat is not overpowering, but is definitely Islay. Ash, sherry, twigs, slightest hint of lime. Nothing stands out, well married. Palate: The arrival is sweet! Was NOT expecting that. Leather, Islay peat, mild iodine, and no burn whatsoever (categorically different from the Ardbeg "teeth"). Hugely flavorful without kicking you in the nuts. Delicious, warming dram that is well married and mellow. Amazing. Finish: Long long long and warming with a gentle heat. Leathery dryness lingers the longest. Final Thoughts: A revelation. Absolutely brilliant. Wonderful stuff. As much as I like the Uigeadail, this one, I have to admit, is in a different league. I'm officially jumping on this bandwagon. Lagavulin 16 is absolutely incredible.
