TASTING NOTE: ... contains 6, 10 and 14-year-old whiskies ... Initially slightly gummy on the nose, but then brine and fat peat notes develop. Sweet, vanilla and malt also emerge. Exposure to air reveals deeper, more intense notes than are at first apparent, and everything is imbued with a persistent bonfire smokiness. The smoky palate offers lively brine and is quite dry and spicy, with some background vanilla and lots of ginger. Water teases out more overt peat. The finish is medium in length and peaty with persistent, oaky ginger. Score: *** (out of 5) (Gavin D. Smith & Tom Cannavan, www.whisky-pages.com, Undated) |
