Nose: Smoky and not lacking in peat! Some apple. Briney seaweed and sea salt.
Palate: Kind of oily. Saltiness is subtle and blends well with the peat smoke. Apple and pear mixing with some citrus for a delightfully sweet taste. Firm feel.
Finish: Long. Citrus stronger than apple here. Some sweetness. Sea salt a little bit stronger. Feels like taking deep breaths of seaside air feel.
Overall Thoughts: It feels as if I’m drinking this right near the shore. Very pleasant and comfortable and doesn’t go overboard (sea joke...) with the flavor and burn itself out. The smoke and the peat aren’t overpowering like some other whiskies in the region. Very nice dram.
