Taster

Nose: A rich tapestry of subtle but confident peat and oak interwoven with a sexy malty sweetness.

Palate: The peat rises early to state the dram's style. A fine iodiney stratum manages to stay the course, offering a peaty pulse as sweeter malt notes arrive.

Finish: Quite long with echoes of peat and roast Columbian coffee but a very well controlled vanilla.

Comment: A malt lacking in complexity perhaps but certainly not in class.

Score: 8.5
