Nose: Lemon peel, grape juice, satsumas, mint syrup, bleach. A little dirty, like a beach. There's also a certain artificial fruit flavor that I associate with lollipops, gummy candies, etc.

Taste: A bit briny, sea air. Quite maritime in nature, however, the wine finish seems to have "candy-coated" this one (although this isn't a particularly sweet whisky).

Finish: I'm fairly certain there is at least a little bit of peat in this. Brine comes out with a bit of earthy tobacco.

Overall, this isn't a bad whisky, it just seems that whenever I look over my bottles, I never want to drink it. Kind of disappointing because my first impressions of it were good, however, the more time I spent with it, the more my enthusiasm for it faded.

@dellnola Thank you for a careful and honest review of a whisky that I've always been curious about. It is interesting and informative to read about whiskies that surprise the reviewer, both for better or worse.
