Flóki Young Malt Sheep Dung Smoked Reserve

Nutty and slightly peaty aroma. Sweet and fruity, with a smoky oak taste. Medium burn lasting about 5 seconds. Sweet finish reminiscent of banana.

Very peculiar. Definitely sheepy on approach - it smells like lanolin! Strong notes of gloss paint on a proper nosing. Salt lick? Plenty of farmyard character to accompany the story of this sheep dung-dried malt. The whisky is young and thin - top notes of grain like vodka. But its soft, gentle, and grows on the palate. It develops to salty licorice and aniseed, with a finish reminscent of furniture polish. Its not unpleasant, but its different - not particularly whisky like.

It tastes a bit like cleaning out a rabbit hutch. Wet timothy hay. I also get birch wood. Very sweet, which is a little odd opposed to the hay taste. Very smooth / soft without much burn. A bit of a spicy aftertaste. Not sure I would ever reach for it, aside as an interesting statement piece.
