This is a complex "bad boy". This is a dram that you *must* take your time with. Play with a couple drops of water after neat. This seems to have some older years (some very old) blended with some of the new nice peatier offerings. It has a nice darkness to it that is comparable to the Ardbeg Dark Cove, but is it as good? Well, unfortunately, I don't think so, but if you lean more toward the peaty edge, you'll disagree with me.
