I like the smooth caramel aftertaste, which stays around. Nice body to it, with a good nose, filled with a warm grassy note.
creosote - what ??? Really ? I have never knawed on creosote so I can only guess at its taste based on having smelled it 3 or 4 times in my life. I like peaty scotch, and with this one everyone on he room can smell it coming and going down. I like it with ice.
It has lots of peat, but it tastes young. Alcohol taste is a little hot. I like it. I don't love it. The price plus shipping to the US is to high for me to buy again. I don't hate it, but it's just not worth the $ for me to order it again. If I could get it at the supermarket for the price advertised here, I would.
Caramel and chocolate then a hefty kick of peat and smoke with a long lasting finish. Try Old Ballantruan and be converted to peat whisky.
Love it, great taste of peat for an unusually speyside whisky . highly recommended
