Neck pour. The initial taste is good, but not amazing. Very lemony and salty with some earthy peat. It's semi-sweet, balanced, and almost creamy with a lasting finish. It tastes a lot like a certain Christmas edition I had, though it's more refined. I'm not sure it's worth the $120 I spent right now. I'd place it below a different brand's Quarter Cask, which costs half as much as this bottle. Time may change my opinion though.

A little more balanced than the Christmas edition, but consequently also a little less peaty and strong. This one has a nice smooth foundation.
