The second batch of Smögen's eight year old single malt whisky is once again a marvellous expression from the Swedish distillers. While the first batch was matured in first fill Sauternes barriques, this one was aged in a more traditional combination of bourbon and sherry casks, and bottled up at a hefty 59.8% ABV. Richly flavoursome, which a solid backbone of peat smoke running through it. Smögen keeps on impressing.
Vanilla pod earthiness bolstered by foresty, grassy peat. A touch of chocolate hiding away in there.
Grilled orchard fruit and vanilla sponge, before waves savoury peat and coastal air come along.
The smoky notes remain for minutes afterwards, with hints of dried oak.
