One of my all time favorites. I like peaty stuff, and this is peaty for sure, but it is also so much more. Complex is such a cliche word to describe anything with a connoisseur following, but it's perfectly accurate for this whisky. This whisky is for Sean Connery. It's an adult in the midst of other brash, peated, teenagers. Full, leathery, sophisticated, sweet, briny, nutty, sherry, citrus, long finish. The smokiness is always there but plays harmony to the symphonic melodies of everything else you would want in a classic malt. Severely underrated, well worth the $$$$. A bit of heaven with every sniff and every sip.
