Single Malt

Peated Swiss single malt whisky here from the Langatun distillery, which was reopened in 2007 (and dates back to the 1850s!). Triple distilled and matured in Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine casks to compliment the elegant smoke.
Robust malt arrives first on the nose, followed by a light whiff of medicinal peat.
Peat becomes earthy/leafy on the palate, and is joined by red wine juiciness and a hint of white pepper.
A long finish of sweet smoke.
Tried this one at Whisky Weekend 2019 in Amsterdam. It was on my list for a while and I was not disappointed. Beautiful smoke, great finish. Along with the Glen Scotia Victoriana, this was the highlight of the evening!
Can't agree with The Chaps. Nose was very modest, no peat discovered, a bit of leather, perhaps. Very short, barely noticeable finish. Sorry guys, not impressed.
It's not Peat, it's Beechwood Smoke! It's give's an other Smokiness The Peat! It's just like a Fireplace Fire with Tabaco & Choclate! & The Châteauneuf du Pape Caske Give it's best!! Slanthjé
