Description
A beautifully textured 10-year-old peated whisky to celebrate the slow transition into winter. A gorgeous waxiness on the palate that will linger on your tongue as much as the smoked rosemary and tarry bonfire will linger in the room you’ve cracked the bottle in — this is a pungent one! The lobster bisque note from the UK tasting panel was a great representation of the unique funk attached to this dram — a must for those into their no-nonsense Islay peated drams!
The nose was pure funk to pique the passion of any peat freak – seaweed, smoke, coal scuttles, preserved lemons and lobster bisque (made with bouillon de poisson and bouquet garni). The palate combined peat smoke, tar and aniseed balls with engine oil and bike chains. On the reduced nose, we identified mussel shells, iodine and carbolic, and a biker’s leather boots held too close to the peat fire. The palate was a waxy, mineral, herbal, smoky joy – with exciting insinuations of singed rosemary, smoked hay, sea shells, a new road, brambles, nettles and mentholic muscle rub.
