This Scotch changed my life! I thought I knew Scotch but I was wrong! Until you've tried 8.1 Masterclass you haven't tried Scotch.

I tried this at Heathrow Airport about a month agp. The amount I was given was tiny, but the experience was nigh on the spiritual. I'll admit I love peaty Scotch - the close to the bottom of an ashtray the better. This was peaty, wonderfully so, but doesn't have the TCP/bandaid overtones of Lagavullin. The thimbleful I was given evaporated in my mouth, leaving a wonderful taste, though I wonder if in greater volume it could be harsh. I also tried it with a little water, which did it no favours - odd for something that strong. I nearly bought a bottle, but it isn't cheap and wife was frowning at me so not that time. I would like to try a glass and see if my concerns about it its fieriness are confirmed. That said in the volume I tried it, it was heavenly.

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.
