Notes
About Tanker fuego: The peated 16 is back, and with it all the mainland smokiness we’ve come to love from this magnificent malt. Whilst some of the more recent peaty 16’s have given an Islay vibe, here we encounter loads of confections, spices and a big old bonfire of orange marmalade!
Tasting Panel Note: A tanker full of marmalade was ablaze on a freshly laid tarmac road. The nose was big on salted caramel too. To taste, thyme and peanuts were joined by charred blackcurrants, rapeseed oil and a touch of chilli flakes. Offering water added cold-smoked sugar snap peas to the nose, along with charcoal and German hunting schnapps, before the palate focused on clove, charred cinnamon sticks, ginger wine and smoked pumpkin.
