I guess I should say "savory" over "salty" as what I am tasting could very well be more of the peat (I've had salt by itself but I've never had handful of peat ).

The Bowmores (12 year, Legand) have made up most of my Islay experience so that might be coloring my perception of the region as a whole as well.
