I was excited to try this after getting a decent price on it. Maybe I got a bad batch, who knows.
“Aggressive” is the word of the day here. There’s a lot of flavors going on with this one. Earthy peat smoke, salt, fruity malt sweetness, noticeable barrel char - the works. And while you could argue that the flavors are complex and balanced, they all come on so strong that the whiskey goes from being “interesting/challenging” to generally unpleasant.
That said, I do think it’s (probably) a well-crafted scotch. I just need something more mellow. Try and find a glass at a bar before buying a bottle.
