Neat. Neck pour. This bottle was always too much in my area. Solid $30 more than I find it online (which would be negated by shipping). So I was patient and found it on sale today. Quite excited. This nose is addicting in a way that only peat can pull off for whatever reason. I’ve heard this described as meaty, but I am thinking more like grilled pineapple. Lots of charred bits but surrounded by this subtle sweetness. Caramel, sea salt, pretzels. A vanilla creaminess as well. Gosh, there is a lot of vegetation there too. Like beyond the grilled pineapple, there is grilled peppers, tomatoes, etc. on a kabob. What a delicious sounding meal. The creaminess and immediate depth of flavor on the tongue is fantastic. It’s just this delightful sea salt caramel on the tongue, but the sides of the tongue and cheeks just absorb the peat. Peat really dominates the experience as a growing wave. There are other flavors at first but they get drowned out quickly. Yeah the sweetness is initially there on the tongue but turns more towards the vegetable notes mid palate, dominated by peat the rest of the way. There is a metallic note on the finish that lingers. This is delightful, I could sip on this all day. It lacks a stand out feature for me though. I suppose the depth of the peat while not being overly aggressively is a stand out feature. I can see why it’s a classic but it’s not going to be in my top 10 or anything either.
