The price makes this out to be not a daily drinker which is a shame because I could really drink this everyday. Nose is Earthy and a slight hint of medicinal peat smoke but it's a bit subdued. Burnt oak, big burst of honey, molasses as it has a darker richer note, light and stewed fruit. Palate is honey and sweetness first, then the smokey peaty character that comes across as all earthy peat, honey, then ripe red fruit. Towards the end of the palate a peppery spike and oak notes giving it a meaty quality. You just want to chew this whisky. Wrapped up in more sugary notes. Finish for this complex and interesting a whisky is surprisingly shorter than you would expect. It's long but the smoke dies down mid finish and you are left with the burnt oak, ripe fruit and dark sweet molasses notes. This is really a nice whisky and well worth a try if into or curious about smokey Islay scotches.
