Dram

Nose: Wet stones, butterscotch, butter, vanilla, apples, shortcrust pastry, hints of white grapes. 
Mouthfeel: Medium body, astringent, tingly, hot. 
Tasting:  Sour salty. Green apples, butter, wet stones, cinnamon, vanilla, malted grains, hints of lemon zest, hints of fried eggs. 
Finish: Medium. Green apples, vanilla, malted grains, ginseng. 

Comments: 

Nice, appley, malty whisky, but the Island character is a little muted. There’s some sea salt somewhere, and some sulphurous fried egg, but it’s sour and fruity really.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
