So, you know Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire? Fantastic Islay single malt, aged for 10 years, sans-serif font. Yeah, that one. What they've done here is they've bottled up that excellent whisky at cask strength! It's a terrific single malt Scotch whisky from an undisclosed distillery on the legendary Isle of Islay, with 25% of said whisky having been finished in first-fill Oloroso sherry octaves, and finally bottled at 57.5% ABV. This has bolstered the complex, satisfying smoky notes, as well giving those rich, fruity, sherried notes some more heft, too.
Strong sea breeze and roasted barley, grounded by flame raisins and red apples.
Another flurry of coastal air wafts through, plus hints of earthy peat - though the sherried richness is never far away.
Strong coffee with a dash of milk, charred oak and a flash of spicy yet fruity red pepper flake.
This one's flavour profile has definitely been dialled up a few notches, but remains restrained and deliberate.
