I originally tried this bottle back in June of 2016. I wasn't writing as detailed of reviews earlier this year, but I see this bottle has been reviewed quite a few times here recently. I looked through my notes and realized that I didn't think very highly of this. Maybe I should give it another try. Anyway, here was my review posted on a different whisky website (circa 6/2016):
This is a big boy of a single malt. There's just a hint of peat smoke that makes you take notice before the high proof burn kicks in. Relatively smooth with a bourbon-esque finish. Feel the burn.
I'm not sure there's enough flavor there to justify the three-digit price tag, but enough of it will certainly get the job done.

Picked it up on a Saturday at a liquor store that had every Scotch on the shelf on sale, pretty awesome!
$76 is a great price! Especially considering the 10 itself is $60 or so
$76
I agree with Slainte, I loved this whisky. Sounds pricey in your area though, it is usually $89 in Indiana, I picked up a bottle on sale for $76, at that price it is a steal!
Water does the trick here... This whisky is a chameleon that keeps surprising you, even when you think you know the malt. Excellent stuff and in my opinion on par with the big players such as Lagavulin 16, Ardbeg Uigeadail or Highland Park 18!
