I finally stumbled across a sample of this while placing an order, something I had been hoping to find since enjoying Kilkerran Heavily Peated and the 12. Pretty highly regarded, let’s see how I liked it.
Minutia: Bottled in 2017 after maturing in Bourbon casks for a 9000 bottle batch. Enjoyed neat in a glencairn.
Color: Deep gold, 0.8.
Nose: Smoke, oak, farmy. Malty, vanilla/caramel. The farmy note is more like grove/orchard/floral than farm. Delightful chocolate after a bit.
Taste: Sweet, woody, smoky, salty, nutty.
Finish: Toffee, smoke, malt.
This is strong, but that comes with flavor.
Score: 87
Musical Evocation: Alien Weaponry – “Kai Tangata”
