Words of Whisky (87)

:

Nose: Vibrant, peaty and somewhat minty with an impressive coastal backdrop. Kippers, seaweed and a touch of iodine, but also vanilla custard, charred lemon peel and a whisper of green apple parts and sauerkraut. Just a tinge of soot and rubber soles.
Taste: Mouth-coating. A lovely sweet arrival with some stone fruits, quickly followed by salty chips, pickled lemon and a big hit of peat smoke. Some gentle pepper-y spices in the background. It also has a slight earthy quality.
Finish: Lingering notes of soot and tar with a pinch of black pepper. Long.

Score: 87

Excellent whisky. A good Christmas dram for Islay enthusiasts. Tastes more mature than your average young peated whisky also.
