Nose
Well this is nice, a combination of springtime at the sea (not directly on the beach, but around the coastal area) combined with the peat smoke. Very fresh, balanced but still you know it's a whisky from Islay. Some salty almost Oyster like smell (after you put your lemon on it) with tones of seaweed and a light sweetness of some honey.
Palate
Full flavour of peat, quite dry smokiness, but balanced out with some fruitiness (again citrus). Somewhat oily feeling in your mouth. After a while you will get a somewhat bitterness from the wood. But together it gives you a soft, but islay flavoured finish.
Finish
Distinctively Islay, quite long, warming peat smoke, somewhat dry, the freshness on the nose dies in the more peaty finish. The honey sweetness stays with you.
