I thought I was a Highland preference, girl until I tasted this. Instant convert . Absolutely amazing and the flavor keeps changing. I consider it the ' Everlasting Gobstopper ' of the Scotch world. Is now my favorite. Tons of smoke but BALANCED with hints of citrus, sweet, salty and of course that peat . I never thought I would fall in love with an Islay, and then this happened :)
