Tasting notes：

Nose: Big big citrus hit. Classic Lagavulin peat, it's dark, rich and earthy with a note of iodine and rubber. A wave of salty sea breeze. Some hard cheese like parmesan. This develops into baked apples and lemons peels. Very savoury, some charred meats or smoked bacon. Dried salted fish. Very little oak influence, slight vanilla but it is definitely spirit forward.

Palate: A touch of vanilla and toffee gives this malt a sweet base and the big maritime saltiness is very obvious here as well. Again, very meaty and savoury. Bitter lemon peels and limes. Earthy peat and some minerality. The mouthfeel is quite creamy as well.

Finish: Salty again with more citrus notes and then leaves behind an ashy finish. A touch of bitter grapefruit as well.
