TASTING NOTE: This (rather young) Islay distillery’s second release. Like the first, it’s aged for about three years and then finished in sherry casks – this time for a shorter two and a half months. Its flavor is similar to the first release. Once again, I am quite impressed. It’s very mature for its age, with good viscosity, showing smoldering peat, coal tar, black licorice stick, burnt dark berried fruit, thick-cut marmalade, shoo-fly pie (think molasses), toffee apple, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and a suggestion of wet sheep. Long, peat smoke finish Score: 90 (John Hansell, Malt Advocate, Summer 2010) |
