Palate
This is an enjoyable sip. Without the Island lore behind it, it comes across as more of a Highland sherry bomb. 18.7 parts per million is not very smoky, and you really have to search for it. You get it at first, but it fades to sweetness quickly which the slight astringency helps to cut. It would be very interesting to try this with some soft cheeses and strawberries.
