Had a couple of bottles a while back. This review is based on 1/2yr old memory...
Nose: Medium peat, with a mash, boggy/sour quality. Peppery licorice tones as well. A bit of sweetness. The boggy note may sound a bit off, but strangely enough it works well.
Palate:The palate is medium thick, and confirms the nose. Quite smooth texture. Maybe it’s the added caramel fooling me, but it feels quite dark and full in taste for burbon cask.
Finish: Smooth lingering light peat and licorice.
Overall: Not too complex but very accessible and casual to drink while not being boring, though the boggy style of peat may ny appeal to everyone. I score it 3, i.e. a decently good whisky. I’ve read some bad reviews on this (e.g. Jim Murray), that I do not believe are fair at all.
