Limited Release 🤩 At first pour the nose is just as advertised intense smoke and peat. Heavy Vapours indeed. It's remarkable actually. This is all about the raw materials. Not a ton of wood to be found. The color is pale straw, and there is a hearty amount of sweet malt underneath all that savory smoke and wet peat. The saline reads a bit like the scent of an indoor pool, somewhere between humid chlorine air and the iodine of Ardbeg's neighbor up the road. It's a sort of chemical nose that I, as a lover of all things Islay, find extremely comforting. The nose also holds sweet, candied malt notes, but they are decidedly hidden and only show after many minutes in the glass. On the palate, the malt jumps forward and is quite appealing-sweet barley, roasted and fresh, with a hint of green apple and vanilla. And WHAM-more peat, wet seaweed, salted earth, and lingering smoke. The finish is a bit of prickly pear and a mix of glycerol alcohol and creosote. It's a hell of a whisky, but buyer beware. If you don't love peat and smoke, this won't be for you. This is for those who can't get enough peat, earth, and smoke, or those who geek out on production details. Or both, ideally. A hell of a whisky.
