The nose on this is pretty nice - I get almost a tropical fruit note mixed with cereal and maybe a touch of honey. The palate is a little less enticing for me - the notes definitely carry over, and the first few sips are pretty good. But then I notice that it just gets brinier and brinier and turns into a salt bomb. By the end of a small pour I'm done and don't want another. I can't think of another dram that wears me out faster than this one. Maybe the Talisker House Greyjoy which I also disliked due to what I perceived to be an unacceptably high amount of salt. All that said, it's actually pretty good, but as I noted it wears thin on my palate really fast. So if I go for this it's always a small starter pour as I work through the bottle. I'm sure others have said it before, but this is like Talisker with the peat ramped down and the brine ramped up - which is not the direction I want to go.
