Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt

Dark fruit, vanilla and a very subtle smoke. Very complex but super easy to enjoy. This would be a good way to introduce peat to a new whisky drinker.

Wow. Definite asphalt on there nose. Lots going on here. Smoke up front and fruity complexity on the finish. Really good if you are into peat

The aroma is intensely halogenic and medicinal, like a hospital pool. It comes along with other peaty aromas like smoke and seaweed, with some apple and malty aromas. When tasting, it begins with ash, iodine, sweet caramely malt, cinnamon, and a floral kick. It then develops more into more of a malty caramel territory, but doesn’t let up on the ash or iodine. There’s a bit of a seaside breeze, but without the brine that many marine Scotches have. The finish brings forth more vanilla and caramel. The mouthfeel is light but mildy oily like many single malts I review. Overall, I am glad I got the experience to try this, however it is probably not worth the money compared to other peated whiskeys. It’s all ash and iodine with less of the herbal and BBQ elements.

Wonderful medicinal iodine, ashy smoke and peat heft that works with the light fruit and shortbread of Irish whiskey just as well as with any Scotch I've ever tried. There's a youthful note to the whiskey, but with this peat, it's truly inconsequential. If you like peaty Scotch you will like this offering. Very, very enjoyable
