I gave this as a gift, so I can't speak from personal experience. But my brother says, "It is the BEST!"

In love with this . Phenomenal smokiness

When the temps go low .. I look for a good petey, smokie sipper to spend evenings by the fireplace with and, this is the simply t h e best.

A very nice Isley Scotch . The sixteen year is my favorite. I have over the years enjoyed it and highly recommend a finger’s to sip to relax .

Still the most visceral response I've ever had to any spirit--the big campfire and bacon nose grabbed me right away and instantly convinced me 20+ years ago that I not only loved scotch, but had found one I could instantly cite if anyone asked whether I had a particular favorite. It's probably still my all-time favorite whisky. The smoke hits from arm's length, if not from across the room. The alcohol is quite subdued in comparison to other smoke-bomb whiskies, though it warms you within seconds after a sip. I wish I could always have this on my bar, but I'm too tempted to drink it all the time, and the price is just beyond reach for an everyday drinker.
