Nose: Singular seaweedy iodine-infused peat. Unmistakable. Palate: Huge, intense, take-no-prisoners peat. This is the definition of a scotch kicking you square in the nuts and not apologizing for it. Once you get past the onslaught of peat, you'll discover a delightful sweetness and full bodied barley spirit. Finish: Long and smoky. Wet peat, salty sea air at the beach. Final Thoughts: A classic. An unforgettable experience. Come on, how could you not love this whisky? That is, once you get into peat. Also worth noting is that, despite the whisky boom, quality remains high.
