Tastes

hugely peat forward, almost overly so. compared to laphroaig or ardbeg, seems to have less going on under the peat. good but maybe a one trick pony. it is a presumably young whisky since it has no age statement. i’ll update as I work through the bottle. maybe something more will develop, or maybe I will develop

nose has a sweet/sour, spiced characteristic, reminds me of the filling of mincepie taste is sweet with fruit but also bitter like marmalade, finishes salty. also have a bottle of glenfiddich 12 open at the moment and compared to that the fruit is less apple-ly, less green. more spiced and orange. the taste is deeper and also more astringent at the finish. finishes with a hint of salt too asks slightly more of you than glenfiddich.

strong honey with a very interesting chocolatey finish. like it a lot but doubt i’ll find it again (purchased at rwc k and l in 2021)
