I've always liked good smoky and sweet drams, so this one intrigued me. It's not like anything I've ever tried. The fire is here - peat and spice. This the first peated Speyside I've tried, and it does seem a bit different than Islay peat. There is sweetness, although I've always felt that run finishes are nice but not as powerful as Sherry or port. The finish goes from peat to a grapefruit bitterness. Overall, I like it. It's not perfect, and it tastes like the malt is still young. But there are some nice things going on, and overall it works for me. And the price is right - I picked up a bottle for $39.
