Nose: A lean and mossy nose carries plenty of earthy peat, smoked sea salt and burnt heather. Chestnuts, sweet fruit and a meaty element build as the aroma progresses.
Palate: The palate carries a medical quality, TCP, among a healthy amount of sweetness from vanilla, violet and a hint of cherry. More peat ’n’ meat keeps the character true to form.
Finish: Surprisingly delicate, there’s a little brown sugar among touches of earth and soot.
Overall: A youthful Port Charlotte that provides plenty of pep to balance powerful peat.
