Smoky with hints of burnt rubber and a touch of sea salt. Additional notes include pepper, toffee, and a bit of berry. For the most part, this is a decent peated Scotch, but it's a bit harsh and could benefit from more time to mature. It remains an enjoyable spirit. At its current price, it doesn't offer particularly good value.

Awarded 97 points. This is an impressive example of the distillery's achievement in creating a 10-year-old scotch. It has a slight ammonia note on the nose, its only apparent flaw. The taste is flawless, with medium peat and excellent balance.
Subtle sweet peaty smoke, peat, sherry cask is very noticeable.
Smells like canned pineapple juice, jalapeño, sweet bread, and oyster.
Smoky, yet full-bodied. Good.
