    Peat, Smoke, a tad bit on the fruity side. reminiscent of costal mist.

    A splash of 02 does nicely, nice, peat, a bit spicier than the 10, woody, a little sweeter, fruity.
    Finish
    Long, explosive, evolving, quite satisfying.

    Well mom, it's like this see? Yes indeed! I like the 10 better, but this is marvelous!

    Surprisingly light and smooth after the nose. Peat, a pleasant bit of spice, smoke, nice sweetness.
    Finish
    Here's where she comes to life. The finish is an explosion. I've never tried anything like it! It evolves and goes on for a good long while.

    Fruity, touch of citrus, light oak, mellow

    Starts sweet and mellow then a wave of tang and mild smoke follows.
    Finish
    Nice long finish, smooth and even. Totally satisfying.

    Has elevated in my opinion after several visits. One of my favorites so far.

    Nose
    Fairly sweet, somewhat flowery, mellow
    Body
    Fairly light
    Palate
    Starts off fairly sweet, just a bit smokey.
    Finish
    Fairly quick finish, smooth and even but fades too quickly.

    I'm fairly a newcomer to the single malts, having previously been (and still) partial to Jameson. This is quite pleasant though, but not one I'm likely to repeat. The 15 is notably more interesting and worthy of repeated visits.
