"Earthiness" is a word that might describe all single malt, since it has that peat moss character to it. But that's a good thing!

IMO, it is, by far, the smoothest scotch I have ever had. I think I would like it even if I didn't like single malt in general. It doesn't have that hard edge to it like a lowland or a highland Scotch has.

I can't get more descriptive than that without pouring myself a dram, but it's only 8:30AM here and I have to go visit someone this morning.

"Honey, trust me, it's good scotch!" :mrgreen:
