  I lean toward Laphroaig, Ardberg and Ledaig. This is one of the smoothest and peatiest scotches that has a pleasant spicy afterburn.

  Big hit on the palate initially which is fab. Lots if smokiness wirh a burn. Leaves a nice briney after taste at the back of your mouth. I really like this whisky

  Nose reminds me of burnt embers from a bonfire and the taste of smoky bacon. A shot of this and a packet of Frazzles and your night's a good un!

  Personally, i loved it more than Laphroaigs quarter cask or even the 10yr. Id say its less smoky than lavagulin but i love how smooth this stuff is, and for the price... Its my new favorite

  Not too bad for the price very smokey taste almost like the smell of smoke from a bonfire it’s a bit strong compared to others I have but very nice all the same and that embossed skull on the tin is amazing

  I got this as a birthday present, and was impressed with its flavor. Very much enjoyed it, even more so because it's not something I would have bought myself. The smokiness and peat are very present, definitely an Islay. It might could benefit from growing up a bit more. It has the smoothness of a precocious younger expression, but there really is not substitute for aging all the way. However, for the price, it's definitely a bargain buy, and well worth it.

  It boasts strong peaty and smokey. Not as smokey or peaty or as strong as a Laphroaig Quarter cask. But as flavour goes, strong with a smooth finish, the toffee and sherry notes stand out nicely. Worth a buy, pairs excellent with a cigar or even 70% or higher dark chocolate.

  Tried it in the Bacchus bar in Newcastle last night. Suits my palate perfectly. Will go out and buy a bottle. I wasn't aware at first it was from Islay but makes sense now as Bowmore and Ardbeg are already my favourite malts.

  So smokey and smooth. Brilliant to have as a different whiskey on the shelf at home and great with strong flavoured food.
