Oh yes...smokey autumn leaves with a sea breeze. Salty smoke puffs, but not so much meaty or kippers like Lagavulin, more seaweed/veggie. Oily and rich. Honey, brown bread or fruit cake, raisins. Oh-so-subtle sweetness with winter/Christmas spices to balance some of the puff, which continues throughout. Exhale light smoke, sherry tang, black liquorice. It's thick, chewy, and oily throughout. It's up there with LV16 for depth of flavor and hidden flavors each time I have it so I'm excited to sip it again. As a lover of Islay, very happy with this one. The sherry influence is spot on and adds to the deep, rich smokiness by cutting it with some bright, fruit notes. Reasonably priced just below $80. This is in my top 2 of bottles right now I think. A definite restock.
