Hmm the nose alone was yum. Perfect sweet light ashy peat blend. I really quite like how they have done this Madeira Finish. It really complements the peat. The peat is on the sharper acidic side but it's balanced well by the Madeira. Honey, green grass citrus on the palate. I couldn't drink a bucket load of this as not my style of peating but nice effort.

@Jan-Kaselitz On the milder side compared to say a Ledaig, Laphroaig from memory...but was a while ago :-)
@Soba45 I might be able to get my hands on this one and was wondering if you remember the peat intensity on the Latada? Maybe even in comparison with the 10y Curiositas and the 21y Temporis. The Curiositas so far being my favorite peated whisky even before Springbank 10y and Highland Park 12y and at least on par with the HP 18.
