Smells smoky, briny, and suspiciously of antiseptic. Had a lot of flashbacks to Laphroaig 10. But on the palate, it's much less "hospital" and much more "eating peppered jerky around a smoldering (not rip-roaring) campfire". Incredible body, incredible fullness of flavor. Initial sip had antiseptic sneak in at the very end but subsequent sips smoothed it out. Overall, an excellent example of an Islay.
