I bought this bottle to explore the other Islay offerings and I was very impressed. The peat is quite heavy which, in the case of Laphroaig was a turn off, but here it is complimented with a range of other notes.

nose: wispy/controlled smoke especially on the edges, big peat, almonds, briny sea air, airy sweetness, a really nice additional note grassy?

mouth: brine shifting to plain salt in the middle of the tongue, smoke, slight herbalness of a high quality lozenge, peat, the light sweetness from the nose.

body: light burn dies off in the finish, light mouth coat

finish: long, oak, drying in the back, salty, very very good

long lingering salt

Hold this one in your mouth and appreciate the development.
