Not tasting side-by-side with the regular expression, but I’d say the smoke/peat is extremely subtle and on a quick taste I’d be hard-pressed to identify this as something unique from everyday Stiggins.
That being said, I do enjoy this as a sipper and I think it’s worth the price tag for a tasty treat. I also have enjoyed this more than I recall enjoying the typical release as well - it is different, but hard to put one’s finger on exactly how since the casking influence is muted.
I recommend this neat to preserve the creamy consistency and keep the flavor concentrated which evokes a sophisticated pina colada or painkiller. The pineapple is delicious with a good balance of sweet, tart and bitter notes with a vegetal backbone that pairs nicely with the cane spirit. Yummy!
