(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Whisky Tasting, 12 August 2022).
Nose: Sweet smoke, damp/earthy, black tea, salty/saline
Palate: Tobacco, dried fruit, peat smoke, sweet, nutty, salt, seaweed, dark chocolate
Finish: Medium long finish. Heather, wood smoke, wood ash, nutty, slightly herbal.
Coats the mouth. Smoky and slightly youthful. Soft and gentle as a peaty dram. Quaffable - a session whisky. This is not a particularly complex whisky, it's a young peaty Islay, so you get what you expect - not a bad thing at all!
It tastes to me that this is probably a peated Bunnahabhain.
Came joint last out of the six drams, with 0% of the final vote for favourite of the night. 54% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky.
