Tasting Notes
"The nose is rather farmy with waves of earthy peat smoke, wheat biscuits and plenty of smoked peanut skins combined with barley husks and honeyed porridge. Great viscosity on the palate, as well as sweet peat followed by a wonderful maltiness. There are seashells, seaweed and whiffs of tar as well, but also honey, sultanas and cotton candy grapes. The Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2013 has a nice complexity, sweetness (but not overtly so) and medium peat influence."
