    Huge smoke at first, iodine, peat everything you expect in a Islay whisky, but wait... after the initiial rush of this whisky, it becomes soft, and sweet
    Finish
    long savorful finish, sweet and complex.

    This is by far my favorite Islay whisky period. So many layers and flavors. The nose of this whisky does not begin the tale of it once you try it. For my taste... add water without water the whisky will not open up like it should revealing the many layers. Superb! But definately not a begginers whisky. This one's got cojones son.

    Very mellow, smooth with contrasting flavors, none of which are unpleasant.
    Finish
    nice long finish, very sweet

    Didn't think I would like it, but was pleasantly suprised, add a little water and it will really open up this whiskey. I will definately buy more of this stuff. It's great.
