Poit Dhubh is a vatted malt from Prában na Linne company on the Isle of Skye. I first had a taste at their stand at WhiskeyLive Dublin last year and liked it enough to track down a sample. It is non-chilfiltered (though with colour added) and is reputedly comprised of several Island whiskeys. This has a gorgeous sherried smell, with a waft of gentle, muted peat. To earn my pocket money, one of my chores after school was to light our solid-fuel range oven. As well as kindling I used factory-compacted peat briquettes that I split with an axe. That's the light peat 'boladh' in this whiskey that carried me back a few decades. The taste is smooth and sweet, with zante currants as the most noticeable flavour. A touch of water opened up a hint of sulphur and dark cherry on the nose and some orange on the palate. The finish is wonderfully long with lingering light peat smoke and burnt marmalade. Overall, I thought it was rounded and smooth - more sherried than peated but very well balanced. Slightly higher than 4 stars IMO - probably a 4.25. Heck, let's call it an even 4.33333333333333.
