Kind of a skunky pot nose, odd tangy flavor, increasingly strong blueberry in a somewhat long finish. Negative initial reaction, a strange glass, overall better than the sum of its parts.
Wet socks, plants, blue cheese. Funky finish. But oddly refreshing. [Upgraded to B+ on 05/26/08. Over time, I have become a big fan of this now sadly discontinued whisky.]
Smells like crap, awful taste, awful nose. Smells like licorice and fish. I don't want it ever again. Like Doody and Cherries. (maybe we got a "bad" batch)
P: For an OB this is a very unique taste. I've had a few independent Laphroaigs that were similar. Charcoal and tire rubber. Dr. Shoals. It won't be for everyone but I'm glad it exists as it's a good example of a peat "type". Finish fades to charcoal.
Strange and maybe FWP'ed. This had some similarities to the "Corpse" 21 year that set this down a few levels. The palate was not as perfumed as the nose and this got some wildly divergent ratings. For me it was drinkable but with some less serious flaws that made it not wrthy of a higher grade.
