Can you recommend a Salt and Sea dram?

Yoichi 10 had a nice briny / salty kick to it with a nice measured amount of peatiness...I also found the same in the Scapa 16 (minus the peat, of course), and the Clynelish 14.

I forgot to include Springbank 10...

Old Pultney. Sounds like just what you are looking for and fantastic quality.

For a salty/sweet dram - it's very hard to beat Old Pulteney 12 yr...For roughly $40 - it's also a great value for what you're getting.

Another you might wish to consider is the Talisker 10 yr...The Talisker adds a bit of peat smoke, and olive to the mix to make it a unique whisky...A must for scotch whisky fans.

Bruichladdich "the Laddie classic" and maybe the laddie 10, Caol Ila 12 YO, Springbank 12 YO cask strength

Oban 14 yo

Oban 14

@OCeallaigh suggested Old Pulteney, and perhaps their new Navigator expression would fit the bill. I haven't tried it, but it appears to be yet another young-ish whisky aged in bourbon and sherry casks to compensate for its youth. Nevertheless, it's received some decent reviews, most of which mention its strong sea-and-salt components. Reasonably priced and it seems to be widely available in recent weeks.

Pultney is famously salty, but for a clean sea dram unpoluted with sherry influences i would recommend trying some of the younger Glen Scotia bottlings. Inchgower is also a coastal distillery with a strong salty influence, something of an aquired taste... but you seem to be looking for something out of the ordinary.

@Nozinan Would agree with you concerning the Bruichladdich 10 - on the finish there's a fair amount of saltiness...Very well made whisky.

I'll echo the Oban 14yr reco

Talisker 10, Caol Ila 12. If you like salt and seaweed, go for Ardbeg, Laphroaig, or Lagavulin. I don't much care for the newer 10 year Ardbegs, myself. I do like Laphroaig, but the peat overwhelms the sea for me. Lagavulin is a nice compromise. I must say though that Caol Ila for me is a great balance. Talisker is very salty but not so peaty.

This said, I like the Talisker 18 very much. It reminds me of cold seas in the north. I used to very much love Ardbeg 10's when they were more balanced prior to 2010. Now they are too petroleumish for me. They remind me of creosote smells, which I don't care for. The Uigeadails also used to be better.

This said, the Laphroaig cask strength series is very superb. I don't much care for the Laphroaig 10. Had a glass of the Laphroaig 18 last week. Eh. Not so good. I miss the 15. It had a low ABV but the balance was optimal. For me, it had a more oceanic disposition.

One very nice vatting is one third Caol Ila and two thirds Highland Park. A match made in heaven for me, especially after the two are vatted in a bottle half full for about two days. The oxygenation really helps to seal the deal there.

Springbank or Longrow!

It's a bourbon but. Jefferson's Ocean is a very unique take on ageing bourbon on a ship as I am to understand. Really interesting and nice salty (in a subtle good way) treat.

I will suggest Pulteney 17. If you want to add some smoke Bowmore Tempest batch 4 if you can find it.
