    Color
    Copper
    Nose
    Massively peaty, a strong stench of iodine, however, it does not burn your nose, it is a soft scent of rolling waves.
    Body
    Full bodied.
    Palate
    Iodine, Peat, Peaches, Pecan.
    Finish
    Strong, with very long finish. Warm, Smooth, not burning.

    This is a great Whisky, very very peaty, and extra smooth down the throat, yet, it still offers many variations on taste. At first it may taste a little bitter, yet, leaving it on the palate a little longer gives a very light, refreshing sweetness. This Islay does not disappoint, if you're akin to Laphroaig, this is a couple steps up on the peat-factor!
