Very good blend of mildly sweet sherry and peat. My favorite sherry/peat Scotch at the moment. Not much of the sooty smoke from the Frog 10 year. As far as comparisons go, I'm not much of a fan of the more pungent/bitter sherry notes found in Lagavulin 16 (blasphemy... I know... I tried my best to make myself like it more. It's good just not in my favs). On the contrary, super sweet sherry (like Wee Beastie) are also good, but not my fav.
