Heavily peated, some smoke and yet... Sweet !
matured in Sauternes wine cask, this Whisky is very rich. very soft on the nose, the sauterne notes come out clearly.
but on the taste , some notes of raisins and honey show up on the palate before the peat kicks in. the finish is long lasting , sweet and quite oily.
this is not for everyone, I had a great time tasting it but its quite complex and will please only the ones who are looking for something different... dare I say unique ?
