Irregular, if dense & fine off-white head, rather stable over hazy golden to darker cognac-coloured beer. Islay malt whisky obvious. Salty, dúlamán maorach. Lots of smoke and smoked malts. Dry, phenolic, straw, smoke, smoked grapes (if that makes any sense), fruit on the barbecue. Salty, and warming up sweet and bitter almonds. Not that well-bodied for its potent ABV. Not really watery, but an impression stands. Slick, even a tad sticky. Special one. Txs to Stef!
