A SURFER'S SUNDOWN DRAM

"This Islay dram is from a Refill Sherry Butt filled at 59.8% after 17 years."

Panel's Tasting Note: "Unreduced the nose was like the soft smoke of burning driftwood on a distant dune. Damp coarse sand, seaweed and brine fill the nostrils as if one were laying prostrate on a wet beach after an energetic swim across the bay. On the palate it sets the tongue ablaze with hot smoke and black peppercorns cracked between the teeth. With water the nose softens as if a mist has fallen; pleasant, cooler with a hint of eucalyptus. Citrus, tar and swirling smoke cover and console the palate. The narrows of the Sound of Islay remain visible through the mist. Whisky pictured at right is a sample image."

Drinking Tip: "Outside on a cool autumn evening."
