The intense peat smoke sounds like the main event, but fresh citrus and vanilla give it some balance. The coastal, toasted-oak character makes this feel bold rather than especially easygoing.

The 54% ABV is a notable detail, while the character rests on the contrast of intense peat smoke with vanilla, toasted-oak creaminess and fresh citrus. Briny coastal smoke and orchard fruit broaden the nose, then peppery embers carry the toasted oak into a long coastal finish. That balance gives this Islay single malt a clear sense of shape. A compelling direction for someone drawn to smoke with sweetness and citrus alongside it.
