Appearance: A honey gold color shines out to me from my glencairn. Meanwhile, semi-viscous legs seem to melt down the inside of the glass.
Nose: In a word, savory. Mouthwatering notes of peat, cooking bacon, salty brine, honey, and light lemongrass rise up to tempt one's senses. With a splash of water, mossy / dried grass and plum notes become more prevalent.
Taste: On the palate notes of vegetal peat, sweet red apple, BBQ char also match the savory vibe and nose. With a splash of water, a sweeter strawberry candy note becomes more visible.
Finish: The finish is long and leaves a light salty and tangy note.
Thoughts: This scotch I 100% recommend and would buy it personally again. I love that they kept it at an honest proof of 46.3% ABV, rather than stretching it to make it go farther, yet weaker. This may be my new favorite scotch actually! I haven’t had one this savory and tasty, but this has caused me to long to find more! Thank you very much Tobermory! Sláinte!
