- Color
- golden caramel. very nice.
- Nose
- Fruit and smoke. Fruitcake, earthy, organic
- Body
- Full, rich
- Palate
- Peat and toffee, fruit rinds, vanilla hints, lovely. Smokey, but different in a way. Intriguing.
- Finish
- Short to medium finish, not the greatest in the world, vanilla and fruit and smoke fade away into an almost toffee flavor.
You definitely have to let this open up for a bit. It's worth the wait. I absolutely love the value you get with this whisky, $29.99 here in the states. It used to be $59.99. Probably because the lack of availability. This is my go to, everyday scotch. Its a very interesting, but straight forward, in your face whisky. I love it. It's not in my top 5 , but still very good for what you are paying.

- Color
- wood filled with water, amber.
- Nose
- Peat smoke, smashed coconut, light fruit, vanilla extract and water.
- Body
- Full bodied surprisingly, really fills the palate, great arrival. Very calm...the calm before the storm.
- Palate
- Sea air while standing next to a fire. Medicinal. Again, coconut hints. Very light fruit notes, marshmallows.
- Finish
- BOOM! Storm of peat smoke. Fantastic! Very complex. BBQ and coconuts., smokey very smiley, feels like I just hit a nice cigar and then a light fruit rind taste remains with the smoke. Looong. Groovy.
An adventure into Islay. Cannont believe this is such a young whisky. The finish is heavenly. It's like your drinking Islay when it explodes at the end
