Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 50 by Martine Nouet and Dave Broom.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Rich, sweet. A creamy wall from which a massive and thick smoke emerges, soothing back to dessert-like notes. Toffee, chocolate.
Palate
Again, peat is hidden behind sweetness coming from the quarter cask. Very bourboney. Cold ashes in the back.
Finish
Dry, spicy, sooty.
Comment
Smokiness takes time to rise up. No medicinal contribution from the peat. Keeps on smoke.

Dave Broom

Nose
Vanilla ice cream, then thrusting peat with deep tarry phenolic character. Dry, medicinal, singed notes. A crisp cereal character: burnt toast, roasted tea, smoked oats.
Palate
Cereal sweetness, a bang of medicinal peat which clamps to the tongue. Chewy with peat all the way, vying with sweet vanilla-heavy oak.
Finish
Smoky and peppery.
Comment
The deepest peatiness of all the young ones.
