It is hard to imagine a more perfect single malt. I didn’t believe it till I tried it. It has everything ...EVERYTHING...you’re looking for. A big whoop of smoke. But, not Laphroaig’s burning mermaid hospital smoke. It’s a smoked fish mixed with BBQ pit smoke. Then, the salty sea air comes in. Fresh, and cresting. Then this coastal earth comes in, like turning over a semi buried driftwood log. Then! You get the rich malty notes, warming and pleasing like a perfectly poured pint, and then the rich sherry nuttiness, woody spices, fig and carmalized lemon come in. Just when you think it’s all over, a whiff of cold smoke, menthol maybe, lifts everything off the palate. But fret not, the smoke and fruit linger in your throat well past your dram’s last drop. Perfection.
