These are noted in general for their elegance, and flowery, heather-honey nuances, and they sometimes offer a very restrained, fragrant, peatiness.

The best have strong notes of peat, hints of saltiness and strong medicinal nuances.

Don't forget Islands, though diverse there are some really nice single malts with unique characteristics.
