Review and Tasting

Sampled on 05/07/2013

Appearance:

Clear, mid-golden amber.

Aroma:

Peaty smoke, delicate iodine, tar, smoked cheese and burnt port crackling with crushed sweet mint leaves. Water tames and opens but tends not to reveal any other nuances.

Taste:

Huge peaty palate is smoking hot but very slightly sweet. With a splash of water this dram is deliciously smoky and elegantly spiced with buttery oak and black cherry fruit. Remains slightly sweet.

Aftertaste:

Iodine and liquorice with lingering dry spicy oak.
