I snatched it right away.<\/p>\n<p>Wow!  Smokey and peaty.  This is supposed to be the most distinct one in the Islay category.  I enjoyed it quite a lot so far.  Honestly, I have only a faint memory on the differences between the 4 of them.  I use MaCallan as the benchmark and try to tell the difference between them.  I guess I need to hit the bottles now.<\/p>\n<p>Crawford also told me this store to visit.
