Batch 419/08/22.
Right out of the bottle, I wonder what will expect me. It is the second „smokey“ whisky by Langatun - a mix of peated and unpeated sherried malt at 46% ABV.
Nose:
Oh - quite industrial: Rubber. Glue. Schleich Schlumpf (smurf) Figur. Wet dog (or wolf!?). Sherry. Some smoke and peat all right. Hints of vanilla. No caramel. Not much sweetness.
PS: A day after the first tasting, the glue- rubber-smurf notes were almost gone. They use plastic corks for the cap - maybe that was the cause?
Palate:
Good harmony between spice, smoke and some sweetness. Cinnamon.
Finish:
Medium. Spice and smoke.
Summary:
This is certainly a special whisky. But do not expect peat like in an Islay Whisky, since the Old Wolf is a blended „down“ peater. A nice dram for a full moon winter night.
