Overall
Score
8.0
Nose
A rich tapestry of subtle but confident peat and oak interwoven with a sexy malty sweetness.
Palate
The peat rises early to state the dram's style. A fine iodiney stratum manages to stay the course, offering a peaty pulse as sweeter malt notes arrive.
Finish
Quite long with echoes of peat and roast Columbian coffee but a very well controlled vanilla.
Comment
A malt lacking in complexity perhaps but certainly not in class.
