I had this evening during a Westland sponsored tasting at Park Ave Liquors. When you think of peat, you automatically think of the kick in your teeth brute force like Laphroaig or Ardbeg. This is much milder, just as if it dipped its toe in a wee bit of peat. it's now over 3 yr old, so probably a tad better than previous versions. If you're not a fan of peat, or haven't tried it, this is right up your alley. Subtle enough, but still quite complex. About $75 w/o tax... so personally I'd not buy it since for $10 more I can get a Laphroaig Cairdeas. VFM isn't there for me personally
