This is an excellent peated Scotch - rich, full, pleasant, luxurious and smoky. This deserves a higher score on here - this is a flat out excellent whiskey. This is what smoky Scotch should taste like. Follow up 10-22-2015 - grabbed a bottle of this last night as my local store has it on sale $8 off - this last bottle falls well below my normal expectations with this stuff. Very flat this time, with even a somewhat unpleasant, dirty smell to it. Hoping I just got a random bad bottle, as this had previously been one of my favorites. I'll leave the 5 star review, for now.
