An incredible value, and a terrific gateway Scotch for the squeamish. Deceptively smooth. I'll be keeping this on my shelf. Neat: Saltwater taffy, brine that is somehow reminiscent of soy sauce. Metallic astringency. Some definite buttered popcorn business happening. With a droplet: the salt remains, but the peat becomes more mossy and boggy. The toffee and sugary malts bloom. The burn wafts away.
