Not my first taste, but my first recorded here. Tasted neat in a Glencairn. The nose is thrilling! Butterscotch and smoke, brine and ocean, iodine and oak are all evident. I could spend an hour with my nose in this glass! On the tongue this is a joyful dram for those who like an Islay whisky. There is that sweet butterscotch and more. I get vanilla, burning rubber (sounds bad, tastes great), seaweed and brine, smoke and peat, grain, iodine, Band-Aids, umame, barrel oak and white pepper. A drop or two (literally) of water amplifies the florals and emphasizes the sweet. The finish is where this fine drink falls oh so slightly short. It holds and hangs, but it seems as though it's a steep initial drop instead of a slow taper. I'm nitpicking, of course. All I'm saying is that this, the prettiest gal at the bar, is wearing flats when heals would have elevated her to legendary status. I feel bad even bringing it up. Yes, yes, yes. Please fill my glass again! I am smitten!🤗
