A peat Monster with too much sharp bite. Little else ... really. Some malty notes but there is no bacon that usually comes with these young peaty beasts. A nice experiment but I don't think BenRiach should quit their day job.....p[erhaps another 10 year in oak and it will be better.
Reminds me of a slightly diluted Ardbeg with a hint of non peated new make tossed in. Very drinkable, but low end Islays do better for a similar price. Benriach can do peat much better than this. Put it back in the cask and hold off on the water, guys.
