It's very rich with plenty of peat and smoke. It tastes savory, kind of like Lagavulin 16 with its sweetness, but it also has a more herbal, medicinal flavor like Laphroaig 10. Its quality seems somewhere between the two. I enjoy it and would be happy to drink some more with its mix of interesting flavors, including some spice and cherry, but it isn't an all-time great. It's a little better than Ardbeg Grooves Committee Release.
