A healthy dose of peat on the nose, shadowing dark red sherried fruits and honeyed bourbon notes. The flavors echo the aromas, blending peat and sweet in a harmonious elegy. This is a damn good quality blend! When I drink this in between glasses of bourbon, it's a luscious delight. It hands down sails past the CB Hedonism at less than half the price. When stacked up against a couple of heavily-marketed single malts, however (talking the Dalwhinnie 12 and the Ardbeg Corryvreckan), it doesn't reach as high a mark. Still, for the value, I think it's an unequivocal home run. Thank you @WhiskeyLonghorn for the history lesson and the well deserved recommendations. I'm certain a bottle of this will see regular rotation on my whiskey shelf
