Tasting Notes

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.
