Nose:
Smoky peat dancing on the edge of a volcano filled with soft grains. Actually at its best if you don´t warm the glass too long.
Palate:
Initial peat and malt dominace. Successive waves of grain get ever more louder albeit in a highly well-behaved manner with delicate vanilla and modest fruit.
Finish:
Puffs of delicate smoke rise up from a bed of light fruity grain and restless peat.

Nah, I ain´t suggesting that this would be a worthy replacement for your Ardbegs and Laphroaigs but I still think a lot of people would be surprised if they gave it a try.
