Safe Haven 6 Year Old 2014 (casks 2013301 - 2013306) - Mystery Malt (Murray McDavid)
Released as part of the Mystery Malt series from Murray McDavid comes Safe Haven! A six year old single malt from an undisclosed distillery, we don't even know the region it hails from, so it really is quite mysterious. What we do know is, the whisky was distilled in 2014, matured in bourbon hogsheads, and finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks before bottling. It has a distinctly peaty character with plenty of smoke which could help provide a clue, and will certainly make an enjoyable dram for any peat lover.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Pungent peat and bonfire ash with wafts of candied orange, sultanas, and raisins.
Palate
Sherried fruit continues with sweet spiced fig and date, alongside young peppery oak, smoked wood, and wafts of vanilla.
Finish
Charred oak and lingering peat smoke continue with earthy spice, candied ginger, and crystallised fruit.
