Nose - not strong peat but dominates the nose here, I don't note much else Taste - Smoky up front, good peat taste, not oily Finish - smooth finish, peaty, tingles on the tongue, not too long Score - 4.5 a great peated scotch, just smooth taste, peat isn't overwhelming, perfect amount for my taste Scoring Legend 5.0 - Outstanding, unmatched to others 4.5 - Excellent, I will always keep a bottle in stock if possible 4.0 - Very good, quite enjoyable to drink, can consider as a solid choice 3.5 - Good, would taste again 3.0 - Average 2.5 - Acceptable, still drinkable. 2.0 - Inferior, able to drink but not enjoyable 1.5 and below—wouldn’t drink again unless I am desperate
