Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
another world away, even from the 60s Laphroaigs. This is altogether deeper, fatter, drier and so much to do with the peat as a core ingredient. I also mind endless subtle medicinal herbal notes, dry leaf mulch, mushrooms, tar extracts, heather flowers and dried seaweed. What these both have is a stunningly herbaceous peat profile that fades in and out as you nose
restaurant Palate
astonishingly huge whisky! Peat has been slapped into your mouth with a trowel by a sinew-armed crofter! Tarry and medical, but primarily drying, organic, leafy, herbal and full of dried flowers, ointments and herbal tea impressions. Going back and forth between them, what this one seems to possess is a more singular peat profile, intense, dry and almost with a sharper level of precision but still incorporating so many mesmerisingly complex tertiary flavours
timer Finish
stunningly long, deep, drying, herbal, medicinal and still with some dried flowers and brilliant saltiness
