This is a solid sherried islay. Nose is smoky peat with a bit of a funk reminiscent of an old leather recliner. Bit of brine comes through as well and is continued into the taste. Rich dark fruits, slight spicy bitterness and trademark islay salty peat. A bit like the sanaig but slightly more subtle. Nose: Islay malt, smoky phenols and woody on the nose. Bit of must. Leather. Taste: salty, smoke from burning embers. Subtle sweetness and dark fruits in the aftertaste. Somewhat bitter and lemony in the development.
