Ok to be fair to this dram Talisker 25 yr and Ardbeg Renaissance were going to be hard acts to follow but I'm with @Cascode on this one. My tasting notes are a limited subset of his. As mentioned needs time and water but even then it shows youth and not much complexity.

@Soba45 yeah—-if it’s Caol Ila, you gotta have it peated.
@PBMichiganWolverine Yup. I had the 17 year special release, also unpeated and it didn't wow me either. Peat is core to the identity in my mind.. take it away and there wasn't much left
Is this the unpeated version?
