700 mlEvan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Malt, dark chocolate, tarry peat, a hint of iodine, grapefruit rind, blueberry pie, cherry cobbler, roasted sunflower seeds, and a touch of chicken soup stock.
Palate: Chalk and mineral notes hit up front before a tangy citrus note comes in, along with the peat smoke. Apple sauce, Strawberries with balsamic and black pepper, and ginger beer.
Finish: Warming, peaty, peppery, and sweet with notes of apple juice and candied ginger on the fade.
Comment: Love that bit of minerality on this dram. Once again I was worried about the wine cask finish, and more I am left pleasantly surprised. A tasty whisky. Regardless of where it came from.
Producer Tasting Note
"Sweet, earthy peat layered with butterscotch and honey. Smoked peppers and firepit ashes. A delicate floral suggestion of violets."
