Not a bad dram, but not great. Drinking the 40% ABV version. Nose: Islay peat, slight fruity sweetness, malt. Taste: Peat but on the ashy, slightly bitter side. Some barley sweetness. Very watery and poor texture. The finish is short and quickly transitions the above notes into a watery nothingness. For $18, I'd expect nothing more.
Heavy peated indeed. Yet nothing more, quick to finish, quick to forget.
Reminded me of peat with water in a glass.
Ruikt rokerig maar smaakt vrij milt
