Big fan of this. Massively peaty, with some of those medicinal flavors that remind me of laphroig. Ends with a distinct nutty note. Clearly a younger spirit but that makes the peat flavor really shine.

The nose is really intriguing. I cant put a name to it but i love it. The 52+% shows up without water. Carmel notes. Very nice to sip.
Bacon, iodine, sweet smoke. Strong whiskey, but mellows out due to the smoke.
Long lasting smoke with sea and saline taste. Caramel nose
