A beast! Smokey, umami, almost bacon-like. With savory richness that keeps going and evolving on the palate. I'm not well-versed enough on peated scotch to truly rank this, but I'd like to do a blind tasting some time soon of this one, Lagavulin 16, and Laphroaig. But this is right up there with Lagavulin from my initial impression.
