Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it's funny how even at 10yo it still smells close to some of the 20-30yo examples. The PE DNA is alive and vigorous in this humble wee 10yo. I just love this uber fresh and very citric style of peat. Clay, ointments, medical embrocations, beach pebbles, mineral oils, seashore 'stuff', wood ashes and chalk. Fresh, lively and yet with a wonderful sense of 'completeness' and balance
restaurant Palate
feels bigger than 43% which is always a neat trick that great whiskies often pull off. Rather crisp and salty, but this is perfectly balanced by waxy lemon peel, smoked olive oil, breads, a wee touch of rubber welly boot and pure peaty kiln air. You could just quaff inches of a bottle without really noticing I fear
timer Finish
long, lemony, chalky, mineral, bright and even some residual firm malty structure remains in place, holding everything up. Green olive and seawater in the aftertaste
