Tasting Notes

Nose

Light, delicately peated, freshly ground malt with a young, ammonia note. Beautiful and very clean honey more than compensates.

Palate

Big alcohol kick, very mouthwatering and delightfully peated.

Finish

Some oaky notes which soften the peaty spice and malty sweetness.

Comment

A light-coloured young malt which thanks to the peat notes suggests Highland Park or maybe Ledaig. The sweetness tends to point the Orkneys. Unusual, very tasty and great fun. Don't know about the 'Brimstone and Treacle', though.
