Comments: As I write this I am in Edinburgh, Scotland (3/12) sitting in the Mercat Pub. All
whisky actually enjoyed in Scotland seems to be better of course. As you may know, I hate peat
and smoke….well maybe not. This one is a great choice for those beginning to think peated
malts. Try it. I think you will like it.
