Fantastic. I was lucky enough to sample this while returning from Hong Kong. It had very little peat. Age has softened the scotch, but it still bursts with understated yet intricate flavors that remain long after you've swallowed. The taste lingered for a good while after I finished. If all scotch were this delicious, Scotland would be the global superpower.
