Tasting Methodology: Neat in a Canadian Glencarin class. Rested 10 minutes. Nose: Sweet. Crimson lipstick. -> resting Cellar wood. Mouthfeel: Dry neutral-density. Impedance matched to my tongue. Smooth - no perceivable burn. Palate: dusky peat, dry bursting sweetness. A drop of iodine. Finish: Dry driftwood. No burn. Note: wow. This is a sweet whisky, but the peat completely cancels it out. The sweet registers as a ‘pressure’/mouthfeel than a taste. Woodier in a dry way (vs triple wood was fresh wet campfire woody). 

I enjoy this more than laphroaig 10 year. Rating: 10/10 Price paid: $80 Value rating: 8/10.
