SWEET SMOKY JUGGERNAUT

From Islay, this 11 year old comes in at 57.1% after maturing in a refill hogshead.

Flavour profile:  Heavily peated.

Outturn:  303 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "Neat, a lovely balance of sweet and smoke on the nose like a whisky-kissed smoked pecan pie served with whipped cream and a glass of plum liqueur. On the palate a sweet smoky juggernaut rumbled over our tongues with dense peat smoke, honey sweetness and slightly floral (jasmine) flavours – completely unexpected!

On the nose, with a drop of water, mellow, sweet and floral smoke whilst the taste still had plenty of sweet peat smoke fire. We felt like we were paddling down a river with the nose being the calm waters before being hit by the rapids on the palate and finally sent over a waterfall."
