Tasting Notes - 9/10 - Dave Broom
Nose
Astoundingly smoky, yet delicate with subtle tarry notes behind. With water the smoke dies a little and raisin and caramelised apple notes emerge.
Palate
An immediate waft of peat smoke. Full, robustly flavoured with turf and lapsang souchong tea.
Finish
Salty, long and filled with fragrant peat reek.
Comment
A punch in the chops from a stroppy Islay middleweight. Flavour-packed yet delicate.
