    Nose
    Spicy, cocoa, rich
    Body
    A good weight, full
    Palate
    Dark chocolate, a little sweet
    Finish
    Long and sweet

    A solid step above the average Irish blend. Well worth the price.

    Color
    Straw
    Nose
    Bonfire, Peat, slightly fruity
    Body
    Full bodied nicely oily
    Palate
    Peat, Smoke, Salt, Wet Grass
    Finish
    Long and peaty. Second hand smoke.

    A truly great and approachable Islay. Smoke and peat is not overpowering, but allows more subtle flavours to sneak through.

    Color
    Warm Honey
    Nose
    A little peat, a little fruit, hints of malt
    Body
    A little thin, smooth
    Palate
    Malt and Grain, a little sweetness
    Finish
    Hot, some smoke, some peat

    Not an offensive blend considering the price.
