Not for the beginner, this whisky. Prepare your mandibular orifice for a patch of peat, a spot of smoke, a belting of leather, and some accelerated growth in the man-parts.
Okay, down to business.
No one orders this on accident, which leaves more of this delightful liquor for our enlightened palates. Moving from Glenfiddich or Glenlivet (not that those aren't great or that I don't love them) to this Islay gem feels something like moving from applejuice to scotch, with much the same feeling of transition to adulthood that comes from such different palate profiles.
Truly, this is scotch that makes people standing near you say "WHAT is THAT?", as the bouquet of old-schoolery and essential manliness wafts their way.
In case you couldn't tell, this scotch does it for me.
I highly recommend that you try this whisky and see if this branch of scotch is for you.
