So I can't find a code or anything here. This is the first release of the CS without a date so I assume this is where I should review it.
This is nearing the end, I've been using this as my "I can't taste but want peat" whisky for a while...that'll let you know where we are going. Mike and I already reviewed on the channel, but this is months later and near the end.
Nose - Bubble Gum going on strawberry with hints of cherry. Those sour fruits over a smoke pit...coal driven. Some mint, pine, and a touch of kinda glue sour. Overall really lovely. More pepper and lemon grass.
Taste - There's a lovely sweetness, but yeah spiced. really spiced. Good smoke and peat notes. Good vanila and a good kiss of sherry. But god this is heavy pepper and spice. I"m not sure where this is coming from. Youth or maybe odd casks? I'm leaning youthful malt. I really hope this malt matures from this spice note and gets rounded out by the 10 year mark (which is coming out soon). I think this is going to be great at 10 years old. But this isn't there yet.
1.25 - potential here, but you don't need this. Maybe split a bottle 10 ways to try the distillery.
