I thought I'd give this a try after hearing good things about it's quality and wishing to see what all the peatheads get worked up about. After trying the quarter cask I can certainly say that heavily peated whiskies are not my thing. I only rate this at 70 due to it not jiving with me not because it lacks in quality. With water it is at least palatable to me. After adding water the nose becomes mildy toned down peat and brings out the briny vegetal notes. The taste with water maintains much of the peat and iodine notes but pepper becomes apparent and a smokey finish becomes discernible.
