Blind tasting
Nose: smoke, peat, alcohol is well integrated. Followed by white fruits on a background of candied citrus. After a few minutes the nose becomes very greedy. then appears a little something that I've found in young peaty but I can not define.
Mouth: Peat clearly dominates the start, followed by ripe fruit and some floral notes (jasmine, violet), all mixed with a hint of iodine and salt.
Finish: medium length, dominated by peat.
An excellent Islay fine and balanced!
