Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire 17 Year Old 70cl Whisky
Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire 17 Year Old
Boasting more aeons than its 10-year-old relative, here we have a 17-year-old edition of Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire! This heavily peated single malt hails from the Highland whisky region, unlike its Islay cousins, but still has all the smoky fire of other Seaweed bottlings. With a portion of the whisky matured in oloroso sherry casks, there are hearty layers of toffee and stone fruits too. This one boasts a particularly meaty, malty profile that works a treat with the robust, coastal smoke.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Cinder toffee and vegetal charred peat, big bold oak and sea spray give way to aromatic cedar, burnt vanilla cream, and crisp wafers.
Palate
Creamy and mouthcoating, with waves of vanilla quickly developing into meaty, peaty malt. There are salty, herbaceous notes of fennel salami supported by grilled stone fruits and baked apples, while hearty, spicy warmth develops beneath.
Finish
Robust roasted barley, buttered malt loaf, and rich oak char linger, backed by trickles of salted caramel, peppered peach, and herbaceous smoke.
