Peaty enough

Nose: Oaky, sweetness, some smoke. Not much alcohol. Taste: Oakey sweetness probably from the bourbon cask. Really nice, mellow smoke, like sitting in Infront of a fire that's down to it's last embers on a summer's evening. The smokey notes develops in the middle. Perhaps a hint of something flowery like heather at the end. This one has a long finish. Conclusions: I really like this one! I am new to scotch, so most bottles are first time tries for me. I image many of you who like high abv and complexity will find it a bit tame. But for me, the sweet goes great with the peat. Goes down real easy. I would recommend this for those who like myself have been geared towards bourbon and just getting into peaty stuff. Or just a smooth, sweet and smoky whiskey.

There is no body to this whiskey. It is like water. The peat is PERFECT,but the lack of texture and the 80 proof makes this one a waste of money for a single malt to me. I t really tastes like a BETTER blended scotch.
