General description

Well, it wasn't on a wishlist: Just an Easter deal I couldn't resist - over 30% off! 😂💰
Presentation is exceptional, as is the narrative of the rocking bottle!
Dark Tawny colour - On opening, (screw top) a hint of smoke - first whiff was sweet & fruity. Enjoyed that, but:-
The palate suggests much more peat influence, again some fruits, nuts, even mildy oily & dry aged wood (leathery?) A shortish flat finish, grainy & thin. Missing that punch for me, but there's qualities here that many would enjoy!!
On a rocking ship, at sea, in the 1930's it would have been perfect. (refer to the touting on box) - I actually love it in my collection & I will enjoy it accordingly, but there's better blends & for the same money, better single malts.

Nose

Gentle smoke, then fruits but subtle. There's spirit but mild @ 40%

Palate

Its a bitter, almost salty, nutty, peaty (15%) grainy, oily then wood & leather! Lacks 💥 - There's so many tastes there, yet its not complex, but sadly its thin! Not unpleasant, just misses for me.

Finish

Very short & dry, but overall, its not unpleasant! A gentle smoke is there all the way!

A little disappointed. Maybe I was expecting more given that the standard set by Black Label.
