Nose: Old wood notes abound but a briny and rich nose like Brunost Norwegian cheese is the most dominant scent. Burnt caramel and demerara notes are cut through with tangy tobacco leaf, pickled fish and preserved lemons. Palate: Exhibits glazed salmon, pickled herring and pipe tobacco stored in old wooden barrels. Like a chandlers shack of old, the rich bodied whisky battles between citrus sweetness and musky notes. Finish: The often hidden maritime character of Islay’s gentlest malt is in full force here, it’s oily, grubby and rich. This is the perfect dram for those who love a bold and intense maritime whisky.
