Loch Lomond 18 Year

Smooth with a subtle hint of peet; goes well neat.

Fresh and dry. A hint of smoke. Simple.

Nose: heavily perfumed. Violets, dates, figs, raisins. Port wine / Madeira type notes. Pancake malt. Ginger. Light spices. Green apple. Fresh apricot. Caramel toffee glaze. Lemon zest. Light hay. Taste: sweet vanilla and caramel. Fruit cake. Heavy wine influence of some kind. Most of the nose is present on the taste. Water magnifies all the flavors and adds a bitter wrapper around everything

Finishing the sampler pack was this 18 year old. It has a quite sweet vanilla and some dark fruity nose with hints of peat perhaps. The mouth is sweet with small hints of anise and some alsmost some dark funky honey to it with peat and very spicy cinnamon/chili spice. Afterstate is a contiunation of this intense cinnamon come chili spice.
