Nosing:
Peat Smoke Vanilla Seaweed Pepper Clove Lemon
There's an initial hit of peat smoke (not overly antiseptic) with lemon juice, vanilla and black pepper developing after you let it sit for a few minutes. There's a seaweed/maritime savoury note also.

Taste:
Peat Smoke Sweet Vanilla Pepper
Sweet, peaty arrival with vanilla sweetness and black pepper. The peat is medium strength and not as overpowering as a lot of the more popular Islay offerings.

Finish:
Peat Smoke Malt Spices Pepper
Medium/long with lingering smoke and black pepper/spice.

Comment:
Worth adding a few drops of water, but won't take too much.
Compared to a lot of peated Islay malts this is much more up my street. The peat is restrained but still very much at the forefront and doesn't overpower the other aspects of the flavour. It might be a little sweet for my tastes, but well worth trying at the asking price.
