Comments: 

A massive, bold, brash Islands whisky from indie bottler Chorlton Whisky. Not one I'm familiar with, but this is a great start, and I intend to seek out more expressions. This one is peaty, sweet, and herbal to start with, plenty of citrus too. Water (and time) changes it, it turns salty, sweet, and even slightly metallic.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
