Nose - briny, salty and some peatyness but not overwhelming, as it rests more I get a sweetness, very easy to smell with little alcohol on the nose Taste - "damn, that's good" is my first thought. Smooth with a peaty flavor that isn't overly intense, fills the back palate then the front with a salty and meritime essence Finish - after the taste flushes the palate it sticks around for a minute, breathing out through the mouth enhances the flavors idling on the tongue Score - 4.75, favorite peated Scotch from what I've had, will be a staple in my collection. It pairs well with a cigar while out on the greens. 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
