    I have to disagree with the bad reviews. I find this scotch to be exceptional – sweetness up front, banana and pineapple in the middle, and then smoke. Considering the alcohol content, I find this easy to drink neat.

    Lots of alcohol and lots of peat but not much else. The 8.2 is a lot better than this one.

    Burning and peat. That's it. No complexity, and frankly a disappointment from Bruichladdich.

    If you are a true fan of the "Peat Monsters", you will certainly enjoy the Octomore 8.1!

    God but not the best Octomore. Worth buying.
