Interesting taste: very much liked the seaweed smell and taste which grows upon one. A good balance of sweetness and depth. Takes me right back to a holiday on Islay-peat and seaweed!

First taste is a bit of a confused surprise but it's starting to grow on me.

The Xmas present for me! and while this is a pleasant whisky in my view there are many (well several) other Islay whiskies I would have preferred to this. This has a taste of tar more than anything else with some sherry sweetness and not a lot else

Loved it but couldn't find the seaweed. I got smelter and coke (the kind you burn to make steel) and tarmacadam.

Ok, caveat here that might be a significant one. I'm recovering from covid, so my taste buds may not be Olympic standard. I've checked the below with my partner who agrees with the taste profile, but then...she's also recovering from covid.

So with that said, I was really looking forward to this after all the great reviews and at the price it looked like an absolute bargain. But...

This whisky tastes like an ash tray. If that's your thing, crack on, you'll love it. But as someone that is very much into their smokey, peaty whiskies, this doesn't have any of the meaty,earthy almost damp smoke you tend to expect. It's just ash. There's an underlying sweetness that contrasts the smoke that you often don't get from Islay, but it's not really enough to provide any sort of depth to the flavour.

Finally, the Seaweed in the title is totally missing, there's not any brine or similar anywhere near it.

So Atom Labs, either your whisky is an ash tray, or my taste buds have been turned into one by Covid-19. I'll rewrite this review when I taste it again in six months to see if it's me or you, but at the moment, this felt like a disappointment even at £30. At that price range, I'd go for a Ardbeg Wee Beastie, Laphroaig Select or similar.

Hands down.

Great value for money! Tasty whisky at a fraction of the price of others of the same quality. Easy sipper!

I was tempted by this one because of the mention of peaty-ness but the finish is super rough sadly

13th November 2020

Mild peat and fruity sherry on the nose. Smooth sweet and fruity to start followed by a hint of vanilla and mellow peaty smoke. Bit rough on the finish. Unrefined slightly confused dram lacking body.
I am a full power peat head so this was a little underwhelming, like a mild Spey/Highland with added smoke

Islay is my go to region for single malt, so my opinion may be considered biased but this was a great dram. Easily mistaken for an older age, full bodied, slightly sweet to start but holds a kick at the end. More like a lagavulin than a laphraoig.
