This is a great example of cask strength peat. A different species than the Laphroig 10...more close to a Coal Ila. There is a nice tinge of red wine on the palate to make sure you know the marketing is accurate; but everything else leans, points, falls down into cask strength peat. 5.0 - go out and buy all of the stock you can find. 4.0 - must buy at least one bottle before you die. 3.0 - solid, must try at a bar, or mooch from a friend. 2.0 - didn't like it, you may. 1.0 - you may have the palate of my dog, and he licks his own ass.
