A great peated whisky. Brine and bandaids are definitely things you'll get from the nose. The peat smoke is ever present and mingles with the alcohol to give it that medicinal quality. Think sucrets with some smoke and you'll be in the ballpark. The taste is good, with generous peat but balanced and intermingled with some lovely nutty flavors and fruit flavors. I personally feel like there's some pear in there but wasn't able to convince a friend as his taste buds were focused on the salt and sea flavors. There was also some maple and smoked bacon flavors happening for me. All in all, these melded very nicely and it was a great glass of whisky.
