## Customer feedback

Customer feedback highlights the flavour, the perceived meeting of Rioja and peat, colour, medicinal peat aromas and a lingering finish.

That split matters for this bottle’s stated bold, heavily peated profile, which is more likely to suit drinkers who welcome forceful smoke than those seeking an easy-going dram.
