    SCP,

    Appearance: Rich, deep gold color. Leaves tears on the side when you swirl it in the glass. Nose: Immediately peat and black leather, but not in an aggressive way like some Islay scotch. This is inviting. A whiff reveals a saline quality, like sea-spray. Eventually hints of pears and green apples in the background. Taste: Smokey, salted honey peanuts mixed with raisins. Smooth on the tongue without feeling oily. Overall: Many Islay whiskies I find are too heavy on the peat, overshadowing other qualities. In this one, however, I find smoke, sweetness and salinity in perfect harmony, making it very moreish.

    S,

    This is without a doubt the best whisky I've ever had. I cannot recommend this enough if your wallet can take it. I have a bottle right now, and I'm bringing it to my going away party tomorrow before I leave for basic training next month. I can think of no better drink to send me off.
