sample/way too much peat for me 2nd Tasting - adding a star, as I appreciate the boldness here. Nose is hugely medicinal, on tongue it has chlorine and almost a turpentine-like quality. Is this good?? A year ago, I probably wouldn't be at all interested in a dram of this. Now, I like it. A lot. I wouldn't want it as a daily drink but it is incomparable when the mood is right. VS Lagavulin? This is bigger and bolder but for me, I'll take some of the subtleties of Lagavulin. However, once you start liking peat, both are obviously mainstays of Islay Scotch.
