This is an interesting pour. I bought it on a whim thinking I was getting a French whisky but instead, this is a blended Scotch aged in France. It drinks like a blended Scotch that lands right around JW Double Black as far as Peatiness goes. They say they blend 20% Peated malt and I'm guessing the remaining 80% is grain. Behind the peat this whisky is very light and effervescent. It's like a menthol cigarette (in a good way!) Worth a try.
