I’m glad I found a sample of this, I was interested in trying something so young and that only saw virgin casks, particularly the cask bit.
Minutia: Distilled in 2016, matured for 3 years in heavy toast French Linousin virgin oak casks until bottling on July 18, 2019. Enjoyed neat in a glencairn.
Color: Burnt umber, 1.7.
Nose: Funky Octomore peat, intensely meaty/barbecue smoke. Much heavier on meat/barbecue spice than the smoke.
Taste: Woody, smoky, spicy. Reminds a lot of a kangaroo jerky.
Finish: Dry, peaty/earthy, as spices fade over a long finish.
Amazing nose, incredibly savory and mouthwatering. I’m going to be trying real hard to justify getting a bottle shipped to me. This is right up my alley.
Score: 94
Musical Evocation: Led Zeppelin – “Achilles Last Stand”
