First of all, Meet Joe Black, 'cause there's a dark and gentle side in Smokey Joe. Strong smoke lurking behind the nice fruity tones.
Smokey Joe is a "bang for the buck" dram. A mystery blended malt from Islay by Angus Dundee. It didn't come as a surprise, because I had seen Ralfy's review of this but otherwise this would've been a big positive upset.
For the money I paid for Smokey Joe (26€), it is surely a gold mine. Nice stuff!
Nose: Smoke and peat hit right from the start. First there's Laphroaig kinda seaweed and medicinal notes. After I added water, the sweet fruits like citrus came thru.
Taste: Crispy smoke with sweet peat and fruits. Smoke stays very well in the taste.
Finish: Short, smoky and dry. Bit sweet.
Balance: Simple but good. I truly recommend, especially for the price you're getting it!
An interesting review, @Rantvahti. Thanks. Looks like you got an excellent price for your bottle, relative to the typical prices. It also looks like this one may be a bit difficult to find for many of us who cannot accept mail shipments.
