3.5
(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Whisky Tasting, 9th July 2021). Nose: Damp peat, chocolate, citrus peel, leather, damp earth Palate: Salty, damp peat, milk chocolate, nutty. There’s a vanilla sweetness and a slight gristiness Finish: Long finish. Peat, oil, leather. Sweet and a little citrus. This has an odd sweetness for such a peaty dram. Released for the Fèis Ìle Islay Festival 2021. 1 of 5,190 bottles. This is a really easy drinking dram. Sweet but not fruity. Many peaty Islay whiskies will rely on a sherry (or similar) cask finish to sweeten them up, but this is a simple sweet peaty whisky without the fruit. I’d like to describe this as a session whisky, although at 53.8% ABV it would be a short session!
