Description
The maturity that shows through comes from the American barrels and the spicy creamy nose from the old style smaller casks. A touch of water allows the full complexity of the Highland peated mat to appear. The rich softness linked with smooth, slightly dry aroma is combined with just enough earthly peat smoke to avoid being overpowering.
Tasting Notes
| Nose |
| Distillery: Full, succulent and quite long. The full bodied smoothness can be best appreciated at bottling strength but with a touch of water the full complexity can be recognised. |
| Taste |
| Distillery: At bottle strength the full rich flavours burst and fill the mouth with a creamy peat tang and a touch of vanilla's soft gentleness. If a touch of water is added then the flavours increase with the addition of a sweet ripe fruit start followed by the tang of peat. |
