I wasn’t crazy about the first batch of this (I traded my mostly full bottle) and skipped the second but the newest batch is much improved. Burning hay and sweet toasted coconut combine on the nose in a way that’s distinct from the Islay profile. It’s thick, oily and sweet in the mouth, with a hint of peach, and finishes long and ashy. Kilkerran labels this Peat in Progress as it waits for its peated spirit to reach its full maturity and it’s definitely heading in the right direction.
