Westland Peat Week 2019

Moderate peat and smoke. Pear, unripe peach, vanilla on the nose. Peat smoke fades a bit off the palate after first sip or two, still there but secondary role. Bright white fruit, vanilla, custard, come forward. Moderate finish.

Very light color, a light hay. Nose: the peat hits you the moment you pour it. Sweeter kelpy peat, hints of cucumber, sweet mint, and salad. A bit barn yard-y. Taste: Clean malt at first, sliding quickly into barrel spice followed by floral peat. Peat smoke wraps your tongue in a cozy blanket on the finish.
