Not much to say, I like it when distilleries I like try new things, particularly if they aren’t just gimmicky. Saw this was available online and placed an order to try it.
Minutia: Matured in rejuvenated and ex-Bourbon casks. Enjoyed neat in a glencairn.
Color: Mahogany, 1.6.
Nose: Smoke, sour malt, banana. Overall farmy feel. The smoke is like charcoal.
Taste: Light, salt, smoke, caramel, bit of spice.
Finish: Salty into more smoke. Vanallaish. Spicy.
This was a welcome change of pace to what I had been drinking, which was airing on the lighter/tamer side after the peated Bunnahabhains I was drinking. I enjoyed the return to strong flavors.
Score: 85
Musical Evocation: Skagos – “A Night That Ends, As All Nights End, When the Sun Rises”
