Oct 2019. Clear medium gold. Aromatic spicy clove, star anise, burned pork, and a little charred sweet potato in nose. Warm rich smoky bacon, campfire, oily brine, charred chicken stock, and some charred cedar in the palate. Ok balance, spicy smoke finish. Smells not attractive but the mouthfeel and aftertaste is fine.
NOSE: sherry, bacon, sweetness, a bit of vanilla plus a bit of soapy after smell TASTE: peated, smoked meat, nuts, sweetness of sherry FINISH: peated end to a sweet taste Much nicer than the original peated Finlaggan, sherry finish did an awesome job for that whisky!
Nose: smoke, burnt nuts Body: very sharp and a bit funky, smoky, pepper but not very deep Finish : subtile hints of cherry, smoky and chilli Overall rather flat
rough, unbalanced, intense. powerful. smokehouse, leather, raisin, wood, apple, chocolate, pepper.
Smooth, rather sweet, strong smokey in palate and the after taste
Nice sherry finish. Bottle purchased!
