Top reviews for The Big Smoke 46:
— The only blended for an Islay lover! It's exactly what you think it would be in that it hits hard with the smoke and peat...yet it's surprisingly refined on the palate with balancing sweetness and vanilla. This could easily become a go to dram for me.
— This was quite a surprise. Definitely Big Islay that opens the over with a sixer and then simmers down to a long boundary. Perfect after running mutton curry or similar zesty fare and best with a robusto and a splash of H2O to open up the concoction post dinner and by a fireside. Looking forward to enjoying more of it this winter.

Justin,
Pretty solid blend for the price if you like Islay scotch. I prefer Compass Box Peat Monster or some of the blends from Wemyss, but they are a bit more expensive.
