Nose:
Very oily as to be expected. Beneath the thickness of the oil, dwell sweet peat and shades of black pepper.
Palate:
Initially the oil dwarfs everything else. Gradually a complex interplay between malt and peat rises from the fog. All this eventually adds upp to an almost mushroom-like character. Odd.
Finish:
At last, peat that is neither too sweet nor too dry, gets the full rein. Long, complex and life-affirming.
Comment:
For my money this is the best of the current standard peat monsters. That extreme oiliness could deter some, however.
Rating: 8/10
