About this bottle

It matured in both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry butts for 10 years and was bottled at 55.85% ABV--a number which happens to be the geographical latitude of Port Askaig. Only 10,000 bottles produced.

SeaDyck 3.5

The color would make you think there isn’t much sherry influence but you can smell it right after the smoke, some apple there too. After some time, those fruits sweeten up, almost jam like. Has some meaty/BBQ quality as well. First sip was spicy, then the sherry fruits come in, then smoke/peat, then dry and a bit of ash. The finish is medium length. I can’t get over that this has picked up some beautiful sherry notes that don’t take away from the freshness and still let the smoke be on the forefront. A great whisky IMO, I’m a sucker for peat/smoke and sherry.

Every sip is packed with peat. Nose: bacon, peat, smoke, coconut Palate: apricot, peat, peat, and more peat Finish: lives for a short time. Notes of smoke, tobacco, and you guessed it, peat
