Notes
About A smoky slice: Sherry and peat come together in this Islay favourite to provide layer upon layer of smoky complexity. From smoked meats to seaweed and scallop, there’s plenty to discover in this peaty pour!
Tasting Panel Note: The smell of a grilled meat lover’s pizza made us all very hungry. The toppings we found were pepperoni slices, smoked bacon lardons and spicy salami next to onions and artichokes. The side dish was seaweed salad and scallops, sweet and briny with a splash of olive oil and garnished with smoked sesame seeds. After reduction, the sweetness as well as the maritime characters come to the fore as we sat on a seafront promenade and enjoyed a smoky cranachan alongside a smoky bloody mary made using chipotles and garnished with cooked bacon, pickled okra and olives. Following five years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a second fill PX hogshead.
