Rum Finish
7 year old Swedish single malt from Smögen, distilled on 26 November 2011 from heavily peated Optic barley. It was then left in a first fill bourbon barrel from Maker's Mark, until there was threat of a leakage! The precious whisky was quickly transferred into a rum barrel from Diamond distillery in Guyana for the final four and a half months of its maturation. It was then bottled at cask strength, 62.4% ABV, with an outturn of only 325 bottles.
Distinct peat and slightly charred notes, a hint of grass, cinnamon spice and creamy vanilla intertwined with lemongrass, with subtle undertones of rum and dried fruits.
Both sweet and peaty, rum and raisin ice cream followed by hints of new leather, full bodied peat and vegetal undertones.
Rich vanilla and chocolate wafers balanced by more leathery notes and baking spices.
