Looking For A Sea-Salty Scotch

[CaptSaltyJack]

I'm definitely an Islay fan. I'm looking for other scotches (like Lagavulin 16) that not only have a nice peat presence, but a great oceany sea salty nose & taste. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Caol ila
Springbank
Laphroaig
Talasker
Bowmore
Some Bruichladdich
Less peat, but briney:
Old Pulteney
Oban

I'm sure there are more, but these are off the top of my head. I like a brine note in my whisky.

As a huge Lagavulin 16 fan I'd highly suggest Ardbeg 10, Ardbeg Uigeadail, Laphroaig 10 and Laphroiag Quarter Cask.

Some of the Bowmore's and Caol Ila bottlings may also do you well.

I'd add Kilchoman, Benromach Traditional, Dallas Dhu and Jura to the list.

I have yet to try Longrow Red. Hopefully I can find it at a local bar to sample.

I always found Tobermory to have a sea-salty spray characteristic, but without the peaty notes. That was the first thing I thought of when I read your thread title.

What Islays have you tried? Just Laga 16? That's a fantastic example. Hard to best, really. Ardbeg Uigeadail is one that tops it, in my opinion.

Look for salty taste ? Go for Clynelish....try also independent bottlings.
