So, I've posted in these threads before, typically about how I like whiskey, but peated scotch just eludes me and I just didn't enjoy it.

Low and behold, I decided to go out on a limb and buy a bottle of this (for substantially more than normal because of the stupid pricing in this state), and whaddya know...It's actually pretty great. Pretty damn great I should say. The smoke isn't overwhelming and doesn't take like a foot that's been sitting in a bog all day and actually has a campfire taste, the sweetness melds perfectly with the smokey taste, and the spice on the back-end molds it into a very coastal warming flavor giving off faint sea salt.

Definitely the best peated scotch I've ever had (had about 8) by a LOOOONG shot. and was still worth it even with the over-pricing. I wouldn't say this has changed my mind about peat, but this definitely makes it an actually enjoyable experience/taste and has given me a greater understanding of why so many people enjoy smokey/peated whiskey.

On the up-side to the expensive cost of the T10, I did manage to pick up a bottle of Weller Special Reserve for just 26$. Looking online this stuff apparently goes for 80 to 100$ a bottle (not including shipping). Had no idea, I just saw the "3 bottles per customer" label and figured it must be selling like hot cakes, googled it afterwards and was right.
