Tasting Notes
Colour
pure gold
air Nose
we tend to mention famous Scottish peaters as comparisons when trying such new whiskies, but in truth Smögen stands on its two feet. Smögen is Smögen. Rather some fatness, a few gingery and curry-like oak extracts, some burning fir wood, while all that coats a coastal (alliterations kill, S.) peatiness that's pretty crystal-clean. A touch of vanilla fudge and wee hints of maple sugar make it rounder. With water: water brings out tundra herbs, with something that reminds me of bison vodka – except that this is a gazzzzillion times better
restaurant Palate
once again, it's a little fat and oily, which is lovely, then very peaty and peppery, rather with some nutmeg this time, instead of ginger. You do feel that water is needed, though, despite the relative drinkability of this baby when neat. With water: yes, there, lemons and grapefruit bringing freshness
timer Finish
the oak essences and spices are back
