Nothing mind blowing but nicely balanced. Not oily and beautiful straw color N: White fruits, Sweet, very light peat P: Sweet Fruity notes upfront, peat pulls forward with Salty textures as its sits on the tongue. F: Smooth but almost short. Peat and a slight sweetness lingers. Great for intro drinkers as they note. Especially for intro to Islay/peated scotch. Love the Highland/Isle characteristics it's delivers. Epitome of a coastal scotch.
