Overall
Score
7.8
Nose
Fresh and slightly green, subtle and very sweet pea. Quite oily and gristy.
Palate
Immediately sweet with a consuming and fabulously oily peatiness. Little complexity beyond peppery smoke and the youth of the malt.
Finish
Remains young and wonderfully intense with the peat clinging on as some drier oaky tones emerge.
Comment
Peatiness is unyielding and unsubtle but enormously enjoyable.
