Notes
Cask No. 4.328
Meets expectations
Highland, Island
The initial nose suggested lightly smoked olive oil, creel nets left in the sun, sea greens, sheep wool oils and seaweed crackers with pepper. A faint waxiness evolved in the background with time. Classical and very enchanting we agreed. With water we found notes of salted butter, tarragon, miso and umami Scotch broth with pearl barley. Touches of smoked oatmeal and hessian too. The palate showed a more prominent peaty flavour, with robust oily textures, coastal freshness and a lovely rooty, herbal and medical vibe. Reduction brought a big, emphatic peaty quality, also some malt vinegar, lemon cough drops, tar and anchovy paste. At 9 years of age, we combined selected casks from the same distillery. We then returned the single malt into a variety of different casks to develop further. This is one of those casks.
