Overall
Score
7.6
Nose
Smoky. Has weight and touches of complexity. Wood ash, spent campfire, fig, coffee. Peat-dominant.
Palate
Very peaty (certainly when compared to everything else on show) and powdery peat at that. Sweet and light with firm oak. A bit confused.
Finish
Oak and smoke.
Comment
Some will love the combination of a cult malt, alcohol, great age and smoke but I'm not so convinced.
