Delightful nose and bit minty
Half Laphroaig like then half Junior Mints at the movies
Earthy, mature
50% peated per the distillery. I'm shocked this distillery was dismantled in 2011 at the height of the need for increased production in the industry. Also, why do a heavily Speyside peated malt in 2004? This is extraordinary and a holy grail bottling.

Wonderful. Reminiscent of Laphroaig for a moment at the beginning of the journey then the current carries you.

After a second run, I like it much better... The thaw was worth the wait... Steve Rogers style
