On the nose, sweet fruits with smoke and sea salt in the very beginning, then it transitions to syrup/honey type of sweetness and maltiness, while the sea breeze is always present. The palate is sweet and slightly creamy then quickly evolves to peppery spice, ashy, smoky, later becomes malty and even a bit nutty. It finishes long and peppery, at the very end becoming dry, nutty with a black tea-like sweet aftertaste. Right at the beginning it definitely gives me memories of Bowmore, which imo is responsible for the peaty smoke in this dram. Overall a wonderful one! p.s. the empty glass is truly "rock oyster" on "damp ash" (sea salt, peat with earthiness and leather from the good amount of refilled casks) P.S. Score modified to 4 from 4.25.
