Tastes

peaty & smokey then layered with sweet notes. great finish. ages very well in the glass as well. it is one of a kind. incredible.

if you are a peat head, it's good. really opens up with a few drops of H2O. lighter, more floral flavor than Laphroaig 10, but not as rich.

i think this is what scotch is supposed to taste like. will buy again.

peat = good Laphroaig = peat 3x wood = smooth lasting sweetness good peat with a long smooth sweet finish.

very similar to the 12 year. enjoyable. would buy again.

easy entry scotch.

solid scotch. very enjoyable, no complaints. more body than Monkey Shoulder, but not overbearing. will buy again.

very good. rich, smooth, delicious.

if you haven't tasted it, there are no words in the english language which would be appropriate. i cant decide if it is work or leisure when sipping. edit, 2 weeks later: either i changed or it changed because now we are friends. enjoyable, smooth, smokey, peaty and rich. kind of unreal. I still suck at tasting notes, but if you surrender, it is amazing. months later: now fully encompassed by the peated whiskeys. rich, balanced and unique. a drop of water brings out complexity. legit 96.

Not far from bourbon kind of rye. not oppressive with spice, lots of vanilla. works well neat or in a blend.
