4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
{thoughts} Unfortunately shy aroma compared to the other versions. Beyond that, everything integrates well in a uniquely peaty experience.
{elements} Garnet-brown hue; thick, tan froth. Shy aroma of peat, vanilla, coffee and toasted walnuts. Moderate-heavy sweetness, light acidity, light-moderate acidity; smooth roast, chocolate and peat with the peat continuing well into the aftertaste.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Zythos, Brabanthal, Leuven, Belgium Saturday 28th April 2012 Strange aroma, I expected to get just elastoplast and iodine but instead of the usual peated whisky elements I also get a bit dose of piss, real goodly splash of urine, which is really quite interesting and strangely with the other aromas it isn’t to unsettling. Taste is also all things peaty, but soft in mouth with some dark honey, malts and a light smokiness showing as well. A7 A3 T7 P4 Ov15 3.6
