Four-star quality, five-star value. On the nose, there's thick honey, light smoke (campfire, not vegetal), big seaside-y brine. Moist cake (vanilla!) and nuts. A bit of water brings out some light fruitiness. On the taste, more peat and smoke, big brine, and a nice butterscotch. Peppery and citrusy. Dry smoke & spice finish. Canada and France account for more than 50% of Té Bheag's sales; I'm not sure you can even *find* it in a lot of other places. But it's sub-$40 Cdn. and just a remarkably lovely value whisky. Punches well above its weight-class.
