This is a lightly peated dram if you like Ardbeg and Laphroiag. There is a hint of smoke on the nose, which is otherwise a pleasant scotch nose. The palate strikes me as sweet, changing to a nice middle of the road scotch (malted barley) with a trace of peat on the finish. For some this might be a smokey, peaty scotch, but not if you enjoy the peatier options out there. Still a very good scotch and maybe a good way to introduce someone to peat.
