A single malt made up of different ages, 13 percent of which is said to be heavily peated... It turns out Stevie was wrong, Superstition is the way!
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Initial gristy cereal gives way to evocative smoke and heady malt. It’s quite sweet and creamy, and reminds us of Chantilly cream.
Sweet and porridge-like. A cereal fest on the tongue, with hints of white pepper and black forest honey with hot buttered toast. Light and oily.
Medium length with cocoa and rice paper with hints of honey and spice on the tail.
A nice dram this one is, having enjoyed an entire bottle I would say my favorite part was the good bye dram. The nose and finish complimented sweets perfectly (a peanut brittle with spice) to finish in such a way was almost like having the spirit take a bow after its last encore of a riveting and enjoyable stage performance. Okay, enough with the poetry, the nose is light with a touch of sweet and spice, the bit is gentle and enjoyable and as the flavors emerge after the swallow, the creamy sweet flavors left settle well and linger like a cherished memory... it is a good spirit, nice summer evening fair, and while the light peat makes it a decent compliment to savory flavors, it excelled when paired with sweets.
I am currently on my quest of Ian buxton's 101 whiskeys to try before you die and this was next on my list. you can defiantly smell the oak in this and in my opinion it tastes very earthy. not the best whiskey I've tasted but if you like Peaty ones this will be right up your street.
Theres a bottle w in my kitchen w and I ain't opened it yet. I give it top marks as I know it's gonna do what I want. Get me drunk! :D what a great drink!!!
Nice balance of characteristics, surprisingly so at this price, pleasing on the palate, finishes well. Even spicier with a few drops of water, and actually refreshing over ice. Each sip savours differently. A nice start before enjoying something more robust.
One of my favourite, smooth, slightly salty, not too smoky. Taste is complete, you don't feel suprised with unnecessary hints like you do with some Scottish blends.
