The knock against Peat Monster often seems to be that it's not peaty enough. But believe me: it's plenty peaty. Not Laphroaig-levels of phenol, but there's more than enough to go around. And because it's a blend, you get the different kinds of peat flavours mingling together: Smoke, BBQ, tar, vanilla, wet grass, a little caramel, some citrus. Youthful heat, but nice flavour, though you could benefit from rounding it off with some sherried fruitiness.
