Notes

About The chef's special: We’re loving the cool campfire vibe of Speyside peat, so this one is right up our alley. Great fruitiness and honeyed texture serve as the driving profile with just a kiss of smoke to the tune of 10-20 ppm (parts per million) phenols. A perfect cask for the peat-curious out there.

Tasting Panel Note: The tempting aromas of smoked almonds and beech smoked cheese lured us towards pastrami and a seafood platter served with lime wedges and a scorched bouquet garnish. The palate was equally complex as glorious textures merged with the spicy tingle of horseradish sauce with beef jerky and fried oatmeal. With water emerged the wonderful aromatics of potpourri and lilies with fresh grains and light medicinal aromas that morphed into camphor, cinnamon buns and wood ash. Flavours were now laden with orange oil and pickled ginger with a bittersweet nature that combined polished teak wood with citrus sweets before mint appeared on a chalky finish.
