The king of Islay
If you love peat, this is the benchmark. Medicinal smoke, brine, and a surprising sweetness underneath. Not for beginners but unforgettable once you acquire the taste.

Too smoky for me
I can appreciate the craftsmanship but the peat is just too much for my palate. I prefer bourbon. Respect to the Islay fans though.

Acquired taste worth acquiring
Brutal on the first sip but once you tune in, the complexity is staggering. The smoke never overwhelms the underlying sweetness.

finish: Very long, smoky
palate: Smoke, honey, salt
