Overall
Score
8.0
Nose
Extremely young and a little feinty with manure and a touch of sweet barley, subtly phenolic peat and malt biscuits.
Palate
Less intense on the peat front as there is more oak and barley. Still youthful and lightly feinty on the middle with the oak becoming quite milk
Finish
Short and alcoholic, which is a surprise given its ABV. Intense and salty with a juicy orange aftertaste.
Comment
The oak hasn’t fully removed the unwanted impurities, but left any longer the oak would have probably overwhelmed the palate.
