For being advertised as a Peat Monster,this is certainly disappointing in that catagory.If you want strong peatiness,go with Lagavulin or Laphroaig.This pale in comparison

This is exactly as they describe on the box. Lots of peat, but mellow like a highland. There is no complexity here. Just peat. It lacks the character of a single. There's nothing bad about it, but there sure isn't much good either.
