Review and Tasting


Sampled on 01/11/2011

Appearance:

Clear, light golden.

Aroma:

Wonderful whiff of Islay peat smoke with more subdued zesty orange crème brûlée, sweet almonds and buttery barley sugar.

Taste:

Medium peaty smoked, sea salt palate with vegetal notes and zesty lemon and orange.

Aftertaste:

Long, dry finish holds the salty, smoky peatyness but tar and vanillins replace the citrus found on the palate.
