A pretty interesting blend, although not my style overall. Laphroaig apparently makes up the largest component of this, but I like this more than straight Laphroaig as it tempers the seaweedy notes that I dislike. There is peat smoke on the nose and a briny aspect to the taste, but the brutality of the peat is softened with a malty aroma and flavor reminiscent of a hearty loaf of bread. There's a whiff of honey sweetness and some green apple bits in there too but for me this is mostly a mix of smoke and malt. I've enjoyed the bottle over a period of months and it seems like a nice blend with enough punch to keep things interesting, but I don't see myself coming back to it as the flavor profile isn't quite in my line. Still, I can see how if you like this kind of thing, this would be the kind of thing you like. At $40 it's not horribly expensive but not exactly a bargain either.
