Elements of Islay Peat Full Proof Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 500ml (ABV 59.3%)

Details

PEAT is the perfect expression of smoky whisky, with all the full-on coastal character you would expect from an island whisky, as well as balanced sweetness.
Each batch is made of around 60 casks from distilleries in the north and south of Islay.

Nose – Fresh, sprightly barley entwined with peat smoke and bonfire embers. Bracing aromas of salty seaweed and seashells. Plenty of clean fruit lemon, lime and grapefruit, while hiding underneath are notes of rich earth and liquorice.

Palate – Warm and leathery with thick-cut bacon, seashore campfires and roasted fruit: sweet apple and lime with a sprinkle of caster sugar. Layers of smoke and dark-chocolate limes envelope the palate and are intertwined with softer lemon oil and barbecue sauce, with hints of roasted spices and barrel char, complementing the peat and smoke.

Finish – Sea spray and baked apple fade leaving heavier smoke, truffle salt and sweet spice.
