Much lighter than I would have expected. |
|
I do not get peat or smoke - too much heat here |
Not friendly and perhaps too self-absorbed |
Did not really make me think Islay. Too many years in the cask? |

Light peat |

Sweet, balanced. Has peat but also other interesting notes. Key word balanced. |
Just right. |
Not sure why this distillery went out of business. I'm never disappointed by Port Ellen. |
