Neat in a Glencairn: Color is straw. Nose is magic marker, bandaids, peat smoke, vague sweetness similar to apple juice way in the background, and a buttery dairy note. Enters the palate with ash, charred meat, salty and savory, a touch of citrus peel and just the faintest hint of sweetness in the background. The finish is all campfire ash and numbing medicinal camphor or menthol. The menthol and smoke linger on the palate. As a former smoker, it reminded me of the taste a menthol cigarette leaves behind. A splash adds a touch more of the citrus zest but doesn't reduce the camphor notes. This one enters like a hive of angry bees and leaves the same way (that's not a complaint, by the way). I get none of the honey sweetness that flits around under the peat of the Laphroaig 10. Under the peat of this one is Lemon Rind, salty smoked fish and medicinal camphor. While I enjoyed this, I prefer the Lap 10. 4 Stars from me.
