It's pretty good. I get some vanilla on the nose - it's definitely got smoke. The body is good, this has a good amount of smoke, but it's not a heavy Islay peated - the smoke is more purely smokey, and it definitely doesn't have the Islay coastal flavor. It's definitely a peated Speyside - there is a sharp peppery bite to the smoke, followed by caramelized malt- maybe some raisiny notes? The caramel and the smoke seem to fight in a delightful way during the long finish. Has some nice honey to it. Dry oak emerges at the end. I like this, it didn't impress me at first, but it's grown on me. I wouldn't seek it out, or hunt for it, but if I saw it on the shelf during a routine visit to the liquor store and there weren't other limited releases, I'd grab a bottle without hesitation.
