Irish Malt

ABV 40%

Ominously pale and initial suspicions were proved correct. This has been bottled way too young.

Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Phenolic, with turfy smoke. Seems very young, with a sulphury edge. A greasy and slightly feinty note.

Palate: Sweeter than the nose suggests. The peat is better behaved than you expect. Slightly medicinal and slightly better with water.

Finish: Charred sticks.

Comment: Ominously pale and initial suspicions were proved correct. This has been bottled way too young.

Score: 6

Gavin Smith

Taster

Nose: The yeasty, fresh nose of new make, plus a whiff of peat.

Palate: Again, the dominant impression is of youth. Yeast and vibrant spices.

Finish: Short and spicy.

Comment: Is this old enough to be out by itself?

Score: 6.8
