Colour: honey. Surprisingly dark for something that’s only three years old. On the nose: beautiful sweet peat. This is genuinely a lovely smoky nose. For a Scottish equivalent, think Port Charlotte or even a hint of Laphroaig 10. There’s a definite wood influence there, some raw vanilla-flavours coming through as well, but it really makes for something utterly charming. Beguiling. !
In the mouth: A repeat of the nose – same sweetness, lashings of vanilla custard while sitting around a campfire. Now, it’s not overly complex – but the sheer boldness, the sheer ballsiness of the flavours here, hides all that. You don’t even care. There’s a lovely viscosity. It’s very close to Port Charlotte, in that there’s that thick elegance going on. Bit chewy smoked raisins. Finishes off with a little woodiness, and some zippy, citrusy maltiness that just about reminds you that it ain’t all that old. It’s precisely the kind of peated whisky I like to drink on a sunny evening, and crosses the seasons beautifully.
