nose: smoke, dulce de leche, fresh challah, baked orange zest, ocean mist, dried moss, hot sand. palate: oak forward, then spice and then honey, fading into vanilla lemon cookies and burnt toast. 4/10 sweetness. finish: more oak with some vanilla and spice and a bit of salt. slightly waxey mouthfeel. medium length will definitely pick up more, will probably alternate between this and ardbeg 10 when I need a reasonably priced islay
