Distribution of ratings for this:
Nose: Ocean air, wet beach sand and sweat (like the sand thats been stuck on your legs from a long day at the beach), Strong lemon zest, a tiny touch of brown sugar. The combination of salt water and lemons reminds me of those cool months when dad brings home a sack of raw oysters and we spend most of the day shucking them and eating them on the spot.
Palate: Bitter, maritime qualities throughout. Unfortunately the body is thin and a bit watery.
Finish: Peppery bitterness.
The nose on this one is quite good, however the taste and finish simply didn't live up to the expectations that the nose gave me. It's bit of a disappointment from this classic whisky.

I certainly noticed the bitterness on the finish as well. That detracts quite a bit for me from an otherwise very pleasant malt
