A VERY toned down Phroaig.  Not the smack you in your face iodine and peat but a lighter sweet peat with floral aspects and light malt.  It’s the same on the palate.  Lightly peated with hints of toasted bread and a medium finish that is salty and bitter.  The peat in this is not very crisp, it taste kind of dull.  Its light, maybe too light.  They should have kept this at a higher ABV.

 

Semi blind retaste: B-

N: Smoked meats, apricots, light iodine notes

P: Tea, herbal with faint peat

F: Briney
