I first came across this wish at a local wisky tasting in Sylmar. This is by far the best sweet oak tasting wisky I've had at this price range. You can really taste the barrel blends.

"Charred peat" is a phrase that makes it very easy to wonder whether they're aiming for an Islay-esque profile. This really isn't that, at least not in line with the big name smoke bombs (which I personally love and constantly crave). This whiskey has nice fruity and sweet notes up top, with pleasant attack of moderate intensity--some faint smoke, right caramel, light alcohol twang. Long, complex, sweet mid-palate lingering into a lengthy finish. Very nice stuff. Easy repeater at $38.
