Nose

Deliciously fresh and malty, almost green though aroma-wise, this sample had nothing like the peat promised on the label. However, there is a delicate peat smoke that is gristy and sweet.

Palate

Young and underripe and magnificently mouth-watering. The peatiness begins to make itself felt towards the middle. Simple but effective.

Finish

Gently smoked; further highly intense malt.

Comment

A rare chance to taste a malt that is not so much youthful as pre-pubescent. Really pleasant and full-flavoured for all that.
