Not a smoky Scotch, but still flavorful. If you enjoy Scotch that isn't peaty, you'd definitely appreciate this one from Mossburn. Others will still find it appealing for its cask-driven palate, even without the peat, finishing with a sea saltiness and a tiny warmth, but overall it's a smooth, delightful experience.

Golden color. Smoky notes intertwine with fruity tones (apple) in the aroma. Smoky-fruity taste. Medium aftertaste. Bottled 09/21/2022 80/100.
Light on the nose, peaty, somewhat saline island blend. Taste: citrus, peat, apricot, white raisin, tea. Short nutty aftertaste. Not bad.
The aroma is sweet with peat and floral citrus. The taste is salty-sweet and bright with a quick finish.
Lingering smoke and heat with a pleasant equilibrium.
Good for a blended.
