"Fragrantly sweet on the nose, with peat smoke, sea shells, cigar box, and pronounced sweetness of dried strawberries. Mellow on the palate, syrupy and smooth—peated but not a peat bomb at all, with strawberry jam, dark chocolate, and sugared coffee. The finish has spice and peat to keep the fruit sweetness in balance. Overall very light and sweet, almost candied at times. A few similarities to other Lagavulin expressions, but a distinct departure."
