Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green | |
Nose | Some earthy peat smoke and dark fruit, fig and a hint of mulled wine spice. Opens up to aromas of roasted coffee, citrus and chocolate. |
Finish | The finish sees a return of the earthy peat smoke and figs. The chocolate and vanilla shine through along with some salty, sandy character. |
Tasting Notes from the Producer | |
Palate (without water) | As soon as this dram touches your lips you feel the soft oily texture and then, as it coats the palate a subtle dryness changes the tone. The leading notes from the Oloroso cask and the peat smoke define the identity of the whisky but underneath there is a fruity sweetness – figs, orange and peach with a nutty nougat note. With another sip the darker notes of tobacco, boot polish and more earthy smoke give a pepperiness that really draws you into this magnificent whisky. |
