The review: I was recommeded this after trying Highland Park last month. I wanted an even strong smokey taste, so I had high hopes this would be build on the Highland Park.
My initial reactions was this taste like some kind of chemical compound. The scent is good, but the taste is just a little brutish. I tried mixing it with water, but the chemical undertone remained.
I didn't find it sweet or spicy. It was just strong in your face peaty smoke. The bottle lasted longer than most other bottles. It's not bad, but I can't drink too much of it.
