Nothing terribly special to say about this one other than I got a concierge email about it and pulled the trigger.
Minutia: Matured in ex-bourbon barrel, ex-Oloroso cask, and ex-PX cask. That sentence is weird because I’m unsure how many of each and don’t want to suggest one or more and be wrong. Enjoyed neat in a glencairn.
Color: Yellow gold; 0.5.
Nose: Peaty with some sweet. I don’t get much more, but I like it.
Taste: Similar to the nose. Smoky and a bit sweet, some spice. A touch of red fruit late.
Finish: Smoke then fruit, more smoke, some spice. Medium-long.
This is really good. It’s very simple, but does that well and is altogether a strong offering.
Score: 88
Musical Evocation: Draconian – “The Everlasting Scar”
