"Just opened this. Very nice. Soft peat. Mix of salt & sweetness. Long finish that says you definitely need to pour another one."

"Had the opportunity to try this whisky yesterday for the 1st time and I have to say I was blown away. Took a sip an I felt like I was chewing charcoal in my mouth, in a good way. The finish is just welcoming, this dram makes you want to keep pouring. If ever you come across this bottle don’t ignore if you are a peat lover."
— Foey (4/5)
