Single Malt
Scotland
Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire
Sherry
A splendid juxtaposition of sweet peat smoke and sherry collide in Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Sherry Casks & Cask Strength 10 Year Old from the ampersand adoring gang at &Whisky! Matured for a decade, this batch of the smoky Islay single malt was fully finished in sherry casks, bringing decadent layers of dried fruit and cakey spice to join coastal waves of powerful peat and salted peanuts at its core. Bottled at natural cask strength, you get bonus ampersands, bonus sherry, and bonus strength here. This whisky really does have it all and more.
Herbaceous peat and dense aged fruit cake lead the charge, joined by notes of dark salted chocolate, mocha, and pebbly minerality.
Hearty helpings of Medjool dates and plump raisins, powerful peat, and salty sea breeze. Mature oak brings notes of linseed, with cinnamon warmth, while smoky salted peanuts nestle beneath.
Sweet peat smoke lingers, with marmalade, rich, roasty oak char, earthy coffee, Brazil nuts, and boozy hot chocolate
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.
