You want to introduce your wife to peat? This is the one. It’s light enough, economical enough and the color is pretty enough that she’ll dig this. And yeah, you will too.

N: Pulling the cork, and before I can even pour it in a glass, there's a big aroma of butterscotch candy. Given a little time in a glencairn, I get applebutter, burnt sugar, and subtle peat in the form of a little cigar smoke. P: Very rich dessert flavors of fruit pies, toffee, peppermint bark. There is some cinnamon and ginger spiciness. F: Sweet, rich, and slightly fatty smokiness of candied nuts. If you wanted creme brulee with the toasted sugary crust, but didn't know how to cook, this would be a reasonable substitute.

Rich, full bodied, woody, malty-sweet. Woody spice and butterscotch coat the palate. The smooth vanilla & caramel from the bourbon barrels paired with scotch’s immersive sweet malt and slightly salty air makes a delicious treat.
