Not peated though so aside from that "salty" trait it probably tastes more like a Speysider.
I found the Campbeltown (Springbank) booze more 'salty' than the Islay types.
Just buy two bottles of Laphroaig 10. Struggle through the first and by the end of the second you will love it.
The family (including Texas sister and brother-in-law) are in town (Portland) for a funeral.
Post wake, I bring him to Ringler's Annex for time away from the larger family dynamics.
Order us some Laphroiag.
Give him some warning.
"Glargh! What the hell!"
Some conversation is had.
He hands it to me, orders some Markers Mark.
"How did you ever get to like this?"
"Well, there was a woman, a tour, rain, weird conversations on the mainland with locals, a ferry ride in bad seas, rental car that had halfway dead battery, too much fish and chips....."
"Ok, makes some sense, memories."
