Tastes

Nose: despite the young age, peat is not so upfront. Dried fruits, butterscotch, some hints of banana and citrus peel. Palate: Smoke, peat and brine at first, which last for the whole time spent in the mouth. Vanilla, caramel and citrus peel just after. Finish: medium lasting sweet finish. VERY long lasting smoke. Worth it? I'd say yes. A different take on Lagavulin. Does not reach the complexity of the 16 YO, but is pretty balanced. Much sweeter.

Nice blend. The nose is most single pot still-ish. Tasting it, is pretty soft and easy-drinking, leaving in the mouth just a bit of the charred barrel note (not overwelming at all) and single pot still spices. Great value for bucks!

Just killed the bottle. Time for a review update! Very sweet whiskey. The nose is candied fruits, a hint of cinnamon and oak. Palate: sweet and pretty smooth, considering this is a young whiskey. The finish is medium-lasting and really solid, where you get most of the port cask. Dessert whiskey.
