Second to the last sample from our SDT tour, this one provided by @Generously_Paul . Perspective is an amazing thing. In Scotland, 7 years is young and needs more time in the cask, generally speaking. In Kentucky, 7 years is about right. In India, those Amruts and Paul Johns rarely see such a mature age. In keeping with party lines, for this one, I felt 7 was too young and would’ve benefited from a few more years in the cask. Nose starts off well, but the palette is simply too hot despite what seems as manageable ABV in principle. I needed to flush this with ice to take away that heat. It wasn’t the good heat, as what you get out of an young peated Islay...but the raw heat you get from roughness. Good attempt, but just a tad too brash for me.
