Thanks to Flaviar, I got a tasting sample of this. First off, I hate peat as I've tried many peated scotches, but oddly I do not mind this whiskey at all. Maybe my pallete is changing or there is less peat smoke. Its an odd mix of sweet and meaty smoke, but it works. Letting it sit for about 10 minutes before enjoying really brought everything together. A nice vanilla cream and honey with an earthy and almost meaty smoke backbone.
