Inchfad 15 yr by Thompson Brothers

I bought a 200ml small bottle of this while I was in London some time ago. I dont think I’ve even heard of Inchfad, but it turns out it’s simply the heavily peated version of Loch Lomond, made using the pot still , but with an additional rectifying column instead of the swan neck. I dont know what that change architecture means or does to a whisky, but whatever it does, worked out really well in the end product. This has aromas of damp moist earth and petrichor. Tatste is an umami like mushroom-y, earthiness combined with some chocolate and nuts. Really unique. The smoke is there , but it’s more an integration with the earthiness. Almost like a peated Balvenie, but less on fruits and heather. A suberb buy considering i barely paid $20-30USD for a 200ml bottle.
