Conclusion: wonderful easy going dram, with a wow factor.

More info: 100% Islay produced from barley to bottling, bourbon cask matured, non chill-filtered and natural colour at 46% abv. Master distiller Jim McEwan likes to think of this dram as one of his daughters whereas the Port Charlottes and Octomores are seen as sons. For me, this is a bottle to get hold of some day.
