This will grow some hair on your chest. Regardless if you’re male or female. It’s damn potent, hot, and firing on all cylinders. So I generally haven’t found an American peated whiskey that’s as good as an equivalent priced Scottish peated. I find the Americans generally one dimensional, young , and hot. I would expect peat to add layers of complexity ( think Springbank or Laphroaig or Lagavulin). So, I know I’m in the minority, but my standard of comparison is skewed towards a baseline set by industry leaders in peated whiskey. This is good…don’t get me wrong. But it’s potent heat, charred meat, and some fruit. It’s young…which is what I feel is really holding it back. Simply needs a bit more time to age. Nonetheless, it’s good, and our American standard of what is a good peated whiskey. Thanks @pkingmartin for the pour!!
