GlenDronach Peated

Colour: Light honey Nose: Candied light fruit, heather honey, delicate herbal peat, slightly medicinal. Palate: More light fruit now stewed, subtle bakery spice, earthy peat with a hint of brine. Finish: Dry fruitiness, more briny peat and fresh oak tannins.

A sherried Talisker, with sweet peat and charred oak on the palate. The bourbon cask really imparts oak and vanilla. A little birdie told me this expression is being quietly discontinued, so if anyone is interested... buy quickly. I recommend, especially for the price.
