The salty minerality and wet peat give this Islay malt a clear coastal edge. Brown sugar and citrus bring a welcome contrast. Its long, earthy, peaty finish fits my preference for smoky, mineral notes.

The fruit gives this peated Islay malt an appealing point of entry: peach yoghurt and pineapple on the nose lead into stone fruit and apricot on the palate. That sweetness sits alongside salty minerality and sooty peat rather than softening the whisky into a purely dessert-like style. The long, earthy, oily finish keeps the smoke firmly in view. The chilli heat and persistent peat suggest a forceful character, so the fruit is a welcome counterpoint rather than the whole story.
