Aerstone Land Cask 10 Year

For my tastes, I like Peated, but not overly so, this is an almost perfect scotch, especially for the cost!

Distinctive peat on the nose but not overpowering so you pick up lighter notes too of vanilla and dried hay. The pallet continues from the nose as a liquid campfire of wood and hay. Peaty but a dry inland peat like in peated highland scotch. Subtle sweet notes of vanilla and caramel. It's slightly better than the sea cask because it's has a richer taste and longer finish, but that could be personal preference. I think this is unparalelled in richness and taste for it's price.

Nose: Smoky, Peaty Taste: Smoke, Dark Chocolate Finish: Smoke
