Nose: Wow! I feel naughty... hints of cigarette smoke!! Peat and smoke common among the Islay malts. Subtle hints of the sea, but light and fresh. Rain at the beach!

Colour: A light yellow.

Taste: Gentle peat and smoke building up to a powerful warmth. Cinnamon immediately comes to mind, spice.

Finish: Good. It lasts a while and slowly reduces eventually disappearing within a minute or so.

Overall: Very enjoyable, but lacking in the complexity of I have come to expect blended malts malts like the Johnnie Walker Green Label and the depth I have experienced with single malts like the Clynelish 14.

Wow, Cappy, you really do like the Clynelish 14! Now you've got me curious . . . The liquor store down the street has a bottle that is calling my name due to your keen appreciation. Thank you for the tip!
