The label photo for this whisky in the app is incorrect. It is for blended variant. I've had a peated single malt with black label. N: 22, P: 19, F: 19, B: 19. Yellow gold colour. Peaty and smokey as expected. The taste is quite soft though. Didn't bother to add water despite 46% alcohol. A bit fruity and with some notes of honey. Very decent option considering the price.
On the nose, it's peat, pears, chocolate, and smoke. The palate is peat, honey, leather, tea, and brine, it's quite mild. The finish lingers warm, peated, bitter, wood, and brine. Water makes it more bitter, sour, and hot. It is easily overpowered by water.
Peaty almost briny flavor with a sharp heat with a very clean finish and almost no lingering after taste.
Sweet, welcoming peat nose. Classic iodine coastal peat palate. Floral farmy oak. Lingering finish.
Citrus, herbs and peat. It’s great value whisky
