Nose: peaty smoke, iodine Palate, peat, sweet, Finish: high proof heat, more sweet smoke, maybe a bit of young malt sourness, peppery after a few sips Adding a bit of water, mellows the smoke and brings out more sourness Overall: I like it Something different and priced $10 cheaper than other high proof Ardbegs Follow up: side by side tasting with McCarthy Oregon Single Malt ($53) i find McCarthy richer, more complex,
