September 6th 2018 at the Irish Heather in Vancouver. $14 an ounce. Served in a tasting glass. Big fruity sweet and peaty nose. The peat is understated. This is not Lagavulin 16. Not intense but delicate and complex. In summary it's a damn nice nose. The mild peat makes it more interesting than the average fruity scotch whiskey. Sweet and fruity on the palate. Trace of smoke on the palate. Definitely more interesting and complex on the nose than on the palate. I don't have a control whiskey for comparison, but I think this is punching over its weight price wise. Actually my control just arrived and it's HP 18. I think this compares very favorably with the 18. I think the extra 6% alcohol makes it punchier. A very nice dram for two thirds the price of the 18.
