Nose

On the more perfumed/aromatic side of smokiness: herring, heather blossom, baked apple, orange. Quite delicate. With a drop of water there's biscuits, lemon and some maritime notes.

Palate

Soft with a rounded mid-palate. Good balance: the gingery/heather tingle rounded out by soft fruit.

Finish

Dry, soft.

Comment

A great, light introduction for Islay virgins but best sipped neat.
