Color: Medium Amber
Nose: Peat, cocoa, toffee, very nice.
Body: Medium body, smooth like fine chocolate.
Palate: More toffee, but darker, medium peat, light apple, light smoke.
Finish: smoke gives way to light warmth, toffee and cocoa blend, then become more buttery.

Wow. Recommended by an Internet acquaintance, and I can't say enough about it. I love the darker tastes of Ardbeg and Talisker, but this whisky HAS to be around at all times.

Review by: Dramiel McHinson
Color: Smokey Amber
Nose: Touch of phenol and peat; in the middle sherry oak and late fall white grapes; hint of smoke.
Body: medium body, smooth and well balanced.
Palate: sweet, smoke and peat, getting drier on mid palate with buttery oak flavors, a touch of the late fall grapes from the nose.
Finish: Long, smooth, warm on fruit and smokey toast, slightly dry.

Well balanced for my taste with the flavors distinct and in harmony.
