Sea Shepherd Islay Single Malt

The nose is soft peat, really smooth, caramel, sweet apple juice, green banana, damp leaves in autumn. The palate arrives intense, it is briny and really quite salty, with a young burn to it. The peat is actually really nice but I didn’t expect it to be that intense. It is on the more heavy side of PPM for sure. I just had a Bunnahabhain Toitach A Dha just before this one and they are very very similar - both on the nose and taste. Who knows - maybe it is.

First of all... SHEA SHEPPARD IS AWESOME! they deserve every support they can get. Glad to support them with the best thing in the world... Now, the tasting : nose: smoke and rubber Body : cherry and pepper, followed by strong medical notes, deminishing into gingerbread and licorice Finish:long and warm, of course still smoky Potentially Laphroaig? Nevertheless, buy it and support sea shepherd.

Aroma: Light citrus and smoke Taste: Citrus fruit, slight spice that mellows fast, medium smoke Finish: Smoke lingers and goes bitter at the end. Overall, seems promising at the start but lacks at the finish.

Barbecue smoke, gasoline damp tarmac, sea salt, mint, very oily, rich malt
