Lost Spirits Abomination "Sayers of the Law"

NOSE Peat, malt, dried dark fruit, smoked meat, brown sugar, vanilla candy and char. Has a heaviness and sweetness to the peaty essence that reminds me of a very specific Islay distillery. PALATE Peat, cocoa, char, smoked meat, charred plastic, orange peels, baking spice and ash with a light chemical note. The palate starts nice and reminds me of the same distillery as the aroma, but crashes into an ashy chemical mess before the finish. FINISH Long -> Smoke, solventy/chemically, ash, and char.

The nose is surprisingly sweet, vanilla, BBQ sauce, dried apricots, a few drops of iodine and, since this is Islay juice, drenched in loads of vegetal peat. A savoury, salty palate of white pepper, burnt espresso shot but also sweet, a dash of charred vanilla and dried apricots. A medium finish, with iodine, smoke and salty, reminiscent of mezcal.

Saltiness of Kilchoman but not as much iodine (though it’s there). A little simple in flavor but very nice! Worth getting a bottle if cheap

Lots of peat. Obvious that the maker likes peat and smoke. Hides any complexity that may be there.

An excellent dram. Great balance of peat and sweetness. Lacks a touch of depth but very fine!
