TastedAnother peated expression from a distillery who usually doesn’t do peat. I heard that the original 'Peat Week' was pretty good while this newer version isn’t as popular. I actually like it quite a bid. Light fruity peat aromas on the nose which aren’t intrusive or overwhelming at all. Very compatible. Some grains and malt as well as fresh cooked orchard fruits. A bid of pine resin, hops and vanilla too. Later banana peel and peach. The peat on the palate is much more present and feels really well integrated. It is just slightly sweet and well balanced against the malty sweet flavors. The finish is nice but short and it leaves a slight bitter burned taste behind. But over all it is an enjoyable easy drinking dram which is properly flavorful and unique enough. It feels a bid slim though.81.0 EUR per BottlePinkernells Whisky Market -

TastedJust delicious. I call this the "gateway drug to Islay" because it gets you warmed up for a Laphroig or Ardbeg. But don't make the mistake of drinking Laphroig first as you won't even taste this one. However, if you start your evening with this fine bottle (or follow up your afternoon bourbon with it as I did), it's really special. Sweet and subtle, smoky and rich but in a light way if that makes sense. Anyway - cheers!105.0 USD per BottleNorth Miami Beach
