8/13/21. 55.95% ABV; 111.9 proof; Barrel 708 Nose: initially a salty buttery popcorn, some peat, salted caramel. Maybe a tiny hint of plum or dark fruits. Palate: initial hit is a mix of smoke, sweetness, and wood. Does have a solid viscosity. Peat comes out more as you sip, its a strong earthy note. Peat here, while strong, is a very different experience from islay peat. This is a distinctively stronger decomposition notes. Adding a decent amount of water tones down some of the harsher peat decay and brings out the barrel and malt notes more. Definitely get more caramel, toffee, and butterscotch here. And a tinge of something brighter, not quite a citrus but something mildly floral. Finish: woody and peat oily. Woodier once water is added
