Comments: 

One of a trio of peated 18yo Benriachs. Thanks Simo for the dram. It's really nice, smoky, meaty, yet sherried and bittersweet. It's 'simple', in the sense that the layers of flavour are very clear and you don't need to work very hard to taste this. Easy to taste, nose and enjoy when you're talking.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
