Let me start with, I really like this scotch. Some may think it is hokey, but its interesting and different. The nose is mellon, honey and a hint of peat. The tongue, blew my mind. First time I tasted it was after eating something sweet, all I got was peat and smoke. STRONG peat and smoke. Then I tried it after a glass of 8yr old Lagavulin, and it was incredibly sweet. I encourage everyone to experiment with this interesting scotch. I love the inventiveness of the Experimental Series.
