Luckily I only got a taster set including Islay Storm, apparently from a ‘secret’ distillery, sold mostly in USA and France. Much too powerful for me, tasting like a hospital operating theatre after a fire! I hope my bottle of Laphroaig isn’t as strong.
The peat and smoke were a little much for me, almost as if the distiller had added a little liquid smoke. Then I blended it 50/50 with Trader Joes Blended Scotch Whiskey and...wow. What a difference! Rather than the harsher mix that I expected, it smooths out very nicely and finishes with a calm peaty warmth rather than a smokey aftertaste.
Love the peat, spice and smoke elements, with a nice finish. Seems well made for the price.
Nice taste, not as much of a “bite” as I would like
Love it. Smokey Taste stays in my he mouth long time.
