Nose: Malty toffee, sweetness, the slightest whiff of green apple, slight band-aids, mild island peat, slight smoke. Palate: ROUND and full! Delicious, sweet arrival that evolves progressing to peat, smoke, and concluding with a mouthwatering dryness. So far, this is the only palate I've found myself craving when I haven't had it in a while. Finish: Malt, smoke, and island peat. Final Thoughts: One of the best entry-level scotches I've sampled. Confirms everything I've heard about it. Amazingly complex and delicious. A true gem.
