Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Sherry Casks & Cask Strength 10 Year Old (Batch 01)

Stunning stuff..a huge step up from the standard version (still lovely) but this is on another level. I will return.

A big-hitting sherried dram with an injection of Isay peat? Well yes, sign me the hell up.
Appearance: Deep polished maple. Slow waxen legs.

Nose: Balsamic vinegar, smokey bacon, gentle sourness, dark honey, unripe bananas, leather, damp air, and burnt sugar. What a combo!

Palate: Sweet and thick with a beautiful balance of peat. Smoked rashers of bacon drizzled with maple syrup, pistachios, and glugs of unctuous sherry richness explode in the mouth. Undiluted, the warmth is just right.

Finish: Long with sweetness and peat dancing around the palate happily. A final wisp of ash on the exhale.

Conclusion: Absolutely brilliant. As simple as that. A total bullseye hit on sherry and peat. What these guys have done with the balancing of this whisky is just sublime.

Master of Malt has just about summed it up when they say: "Gosh, this really is yummy" I can't really top that. It really is. If you see a bottle of this, don't ignore it!

This is a great dram. No marketing budget. A cheap ass bottle. A label that looks like it was done on a laser printer. No expensive, luxuriously finished packaging.

It’s almost perfect. My hard earned pennies appear to be paying for what’s actually in the bottle and I think it shows. The liquid is a blisteringly full on assault on the senses. Big nose. Bigger mouth. Huge finish.

AtomLabs need to keep doing this. Don’t milk the punter, treat them well and they will keep coming back. This is how you build reputations. 10/10

This whisky needs time to open up. So much so that I left the bottle open overnight. It's a very unique dram and at a very reasonable price tag. People seem to think it's either Laphroaig or coal Ila just because their production output, however I strongly believe this bunnahabhain peated stock.

Impressive - on the nose it reflects it’s description on the main label, which is not entirely pleasant but on the palate it’s truly special. Highly recommended, especially as its smoky/peatiness is well integrated and not at all over powering. Definitely Islay but at cask strength it’s powerful but still smith and refined.

I really struggled to find many reviews (videos or written) but decided to give it a whirl anyway, and I'm sooo glad I did!

This is absolutely delicious. There's a sweet element in here that is just singing to me, even though I've not had a glass for a few days and with that BBQ peat smoke on top, just mmmmm.

Seriously if you like Uigeadail, then give this a go. I don't suppose it's as huge a slap in the face as Oogy, similar flavours, I'd say just a bit more refined.

I seriously hope this doesn't get discontinued ever! And I look forward to future batches. For now I'll be enjoying MOM's best kept not so secret! (I'm sure if this had a distillery on the label it would fly out! More for those who know I guess!)

Massive coffee and cigar box on the nose - the MoM tram have got it just right.

I also get loads of Sherry soaked raisins and dark chocolate.

The palate is very grown-up - intricate spice and complex layers of leather and camphor.

Finish that lasts minutes.

This is a big, bold, uncompromising smack in the face to the established brands. Bravo.
