Taster

Nose: Less intense peat than the standard version. it is the dollop of marmalade that stars.

Palate: The peat forms a sweet and silky layer. Oak tends to be lumpy.

Finish: A toasty, dry finale. Maybe a little off key.

Comment: Hmmm. Not quite the babe I was expecting. Due to the rarity of this malt vattings do tend to travel the quality spectrums.

Score: 7.5

Taster

Nose: Slightly sooty.

Palate: Sweeter than the 40%.

Finish: Spicy, grassy, smoky, slightly hot. Peppery.

Comment: The paler colour suggests less interesting casks. The higher the alcohol adds to the pepperiness. The end result is drier, more cutting, but less rounded than the 40%.

Score: 8.5
