Peat well present in the nose, without being pungent but rather sweet and soft. Vanilla, yellow fruit and prunes blend well with the smokiness, with a very pleasant profile. There is also a certain biscuitiness, a sign of youth.
Despite having a not indifferent strength (45ppm), the peat remains gentle on the palate, perhaps a little disturbed by the alcohol present more than necessary (this whisky must be really young). A lot of plum and ripe fruit, anise, spices, a pinch of pepper. A lively and cheerful profile, where peat is more of a glue than a master, which you wouldn't expect given the chosen name. It improves by letting it breathe, with the alcohol retracting and having the peat emerge more, even if it remains a little marked profile.
Not very long finish, of ash and spices.
