I think i had high hopes on this one, but i did not have any real reason for those high hopes. This is a whisky that tries to look like an Islay/Island Whisky without achieving the great level of this two scotland regions. Actually it comes from an Island called Mull, and this is the peaty expression of Tobermory.
Bottled at 46.3% abv.
On the nose it is good. Its peat is exactly like ardbeg or kilchoman. Burnt cake crest, Grapes. Artificial flavor.
On the palate, everything goes south. Oak, Pepper; Oily, maybe too much. Tobbacco and a cheap butterscotch. Finish is kind of winey and hot.
Overall it seems like this one lacks some balance and a better palate. Overall i give this dram a fair 72 over 100.
