Peaty

Light gold in the glass. On the nose, the peat is unusually delicate, a puff of smoke accompanying a fruity profile (raisins, plums) with pepper and candied orange, all on a gust of sea breeze. Very fresh. Quoting a well-known philosopher, "It's a trap!": At the entrance, the peat explodes on the palate, fleshy and succulent, with an important alcoholic boost that increases its roar, revealing the muscular soul of the whiskey. But it is only the beginning, because the frontal assault soon discovers citrus fruits, plums, bananas, cinnamon and lively ocean and saline waves, well integrated with the embers that continue to burn throughout the drink. Beautiful sprinkling of pepper on the whole, in a not at all boring and stratified tasting, very warm. Rather long finish, with salt, smoke, orange and cinnamon.
