Smokehead NAS @ $30 Deal or No Deal?

[MauiSon]

Just noticed Costco is carrying this and I think I need to pick one up. Would you?

There hasn't been much discussion of Smokehead here [that I could find], but online reviews are mixed.

Have purchased this several times in the past and enjoyed it. Has a bit of a youthful edge but the nose and flavour compensate IMHO. Read the shipping tube-ticks a lot of my boxes. Can't go wrong for $30 if you like Islay peated malts, I would be using it as a daily dram if I could get it for that price. We pay twice that for it in Canada.

it's a definite deal - normally it's retailing for $45+ up here in New England. I find it a very drinkable everyday Islay dram. Significantly better than McClelland's Isay blend. At that price I'd buy multiples.

I honestly thought this stacked up well against Ardbeg 10 in a recent tasting. In fact I liked it more!
