Tasting Notes:

Light amber/brown color.
The nose on this has mellow salt, peat, brine, mellow smoke, and a nice subtle layer of sweet malt.
The sweet malt character on this is much more dominant in this whiskey than in many Islay whiskies. The is a subtle peat and smoke throughout as well.
A good whiskey and a great intro to Islay smoke and peat.
