Tasting Notes:

Very light golden color. The nose is richly peated and there is a touch of sweetness as well. Relatively light bodied up front on the palate but then huge peat and smoke take over and the mid-palate gets big and heavy. There is enough sweet malt to stand up to the peat and balance well. Great whisky for the peaty/smoky folks with some fun, very-modern looking packaging as well.
