GENTLE GIANT

This 9 year old has been bottled at 57.6% from a First Fill Barrel!

Panel's Tasting Note: "Although this was an initial blast of peat smoke, smoked bacon, vegetable oil, brine (from hot dogs) it was sweet and delicate. There was toffee dust (the stuff you find at the bottom of a big jar from the sweet shop), white bonbons, all interlaced with a mineral character. Big, salty, smoky, and earthy to taste but a delicate perfumed herbal note gave the impression of lightness. Water stabilised this gentle impression; now it was nutty, grassy, herbal and more perfumed although the smoky bacon was still there. Liquorice, walnuts, pine resin and salty ash were added to on the palate Whisky pictured at right is a sample image."

Drinking Tip: "On your way to Islay or for an education in the art of smoky whiskies."
