There's a subtle smoky air; nothing too astringent or overpowering. It's great to try if you're new to peaty whiskies or were put off by a peat colossus from Islay. … Terrific stuff.

Product Description
This peated whisky gently astonishes the seriously indulgent. Experience Goa here, as the swirl lightly whisks up visions from the undulating wind swept ocean from landscapes. The smokes slowly blows forward and cushions the layers of crisp radiate from the hickory and Dominican style cocoa. That's Goa in a tripple.

Islay-style peat but not Islay-style flavor dominates the nose and palate leaving little room for the distillery house-style to shine through. … Hints of black licorice add interest, if not complexity.
