Big Peat Blended Malt

Nose - Floral ashy smoke, sweet vanilla frosting, sea spray, sweet fresh hay. Taste - Sweet ashy smoke, light creamy/waxy mouthfeel, hint of sea salt, light vanilla simple, tiny hint of white pepper tingle. Finish - Lingering sweet ash, light ashy bitterness, sweet vanilla simple. Score - 80/100 Final Thoughts - Although I'm not normally a huge fan of peat, I could tolerate this one. It wasn't too much like drinking bandaids/tar like I get from Laphroaig. This had a nice simple ashy smoke to it that was tolerable and a general overall sweetness that came from the malt & had hints of vanilla from what I'm guessing is primarily ex-Bourbon barrels. Nice hint of sea salt throughout and this pleasant waxy mouthfeel. Not exactly my favorite, but I can see where people could enjoy this. Would I drink it if offered? - No Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - No

Very average. Tastes hot. Very light in color. Nothing special here.

North Shore Whisky Club: decent flavor but pretty harsh. Probably wouldn't buy.
