Notes
Cask No. 29.190
Divine dark temptation
Islay
The air was heavy with the sweet seductive smell from stepping out of the sultry summer sun into the cathedral like warehouse of a sherry bodegas in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Aromas of hessian sacks and coconut husk next to cinder toffee and dark butterscotch mingled with a whiff of fresh sardines being roasted in the salt sea air from the nearby beach – irresistibly tantalizing. The taste was like a bellow, best described, of dry smoke, salty, dusty, dry nicotine tar. Water added the aroma of toasted coconut flavoured hookah tobacco and we tasted a bar of dark caramel and sea salt chocolate – wikkid!
