Well blended, The best of peat, sweet, and brine at reasonable price.
This provides a nice combination of peat...and despite its name, it is NOT overdone....with sweetness, an excellent mouthfeel, and character. Do not let the label deter you. If you can enjoy 10 year Ardbeg or Laphroig, this dram will please you. It is not ashy. The peat is more BBQ or ham than ashtray leftovers. There is plenty of fruit in the mix, and it stands up to water. For the price, it is worth the trip. Downside? It took an effort of will and determination and many emails to get it delivered from the shipper, over a month late. Hope you have a better experience in that regard.
