Taster

Nose: Cardboard to begin with but some solid, sweet barley to give a semblance of balance. Fishy with earthy peat, sugar coated violets, bacon fat, meat and salt.

Palate: Initially sugary followed by cardboardy peat and hard barley. Briny on the middle which clears the sugars from the palate to leave oily, fishy notes.\n

Finish: Long and sweetly peated with lingering cardboardy notes. Sweet violet, peat after-taste. \n

Comment: The distillery character here is unmistakable! However there are just enough other elements to balance.

Score: 8.1
