Old Big Peat, LMDW 60th Anniversary

Douglas Laing has this very good blended malt range of expressions, and one of the most famous ones is "Big Peat". When "La Maison du Whisky" celebrated their 60th anniversary, a special edition was made for them called "Old Big Peat", bottled at 50%abv with a white wine color. On the nose, it has this incredibly aromatic peat. Cigarrettes; very perfumed. Heather and mint hard candy. There is a dim saltiness and maritime profiles. Green grapes. After a first sip it became a lot more perfumed. Very floral. There is some sugar syrup notes here. It is really very floral. On the palate, it was very interesting. Chocolate with salt, very salty. Meaty, but easy to drink. There is this milk with sugar note incredibly appealing. Super syrupy, super sugary, milky and then a salty touch. Aftertaste is a little dissapointing, specially after a great palate and nose. Puffs of smoke, tobacco, hay, grassy note. Short finish. Too short. Overall, this will have a score that is influenced by a very mild aftertaste, because it has a lovely nose, a very appealing palate but a boring, short and weak finish. As all other "Big Peat" expressions, i find them not that peaty, and much more perfumed and fairly perfumed, in a nice way. My score for it is 82 over 100.
