The heavy fusel burn dovetails perfectly with the peat smoke. All the usual descriptors: smoked meat, campfire, tobacco ash, cigars. It's all cliche but it's because it's all true.
It does benefit from a droplet, only because the moss and soil then overshadows the alcohol heat. It's the most boggy whiskey that I've had with the possible exception of Ardbeg 10.
