Will's Review

• Overall Rating: 7 
• Smokiness: 8
• Sweetness:  5
• Quite nice. It has a robust smokey smell that reminds me of a lesser Laphroaig. A classic Scotch that I would be proud to keep stocked in my stores. It has a small rubber taste, which is somewhat distracting. I would drink this while whittling a stockpile of fishing spears on a remote island of Zanzibar. 

Max's Review

• Overall Rating: 8
• Smokiness: 7 (more peaty than smoky)
• Sweetness: 3
• A little bit of bitter chocolate and pine mixed with the smell/taste of sea weed after a hurricane
• Well balanced between peaty and sweet

Steve's Review

• Overall Rating: 8.5
• Smokiness: 8.5
• Sweetness: 5.5
• Good balance between oak smokiness and peat peatiness. No weird other tastes. Solid scotch all around. The kind of scotch you want to have the morning after surving your first all night storm on the ocean, in the sailboat you built by hand.
