The tasting notes above don't really do it justice - neat at 55.8% it's like a velvet covered sherry bottle to the gob and is full of fruit, sweetness and heavenly alcohol burn if you hold it in your mouth. It's still smooth going down though, it's like it evaporates in your gullet. I love the numbness it gives and the finish lasts for ages. With water there's still a bit of a burn, but it's less like someone is pogoing on your gums and it has a far more mellow flavour with more orangey chocolatey notes.
If you loved Aberlours A'bunadh then this is, in my opinion, as good if not better than it (I was never a huge fan to be honest) and is a cheaper alternative.

I'm not the biggest fan of that stuff usually, and this is going further than baby peat Superstition but it's still pretty nice. Not good enough to make me switch from my fruity sweet smooth stuff but not a total waste like the Pusser's either.
