  • A delicious malt. The Amontillado influence is heavy and works spectacularly alongside subtle peat.

House Review
  • Nose:

    No peat on the nose — the profile is malty and nutty and buttery. Massive Amontillado character. Nice butterscotch note.

  • Taste:

    Lovely viscosity. Rich palate. Amontillado profile on the palate. Dry tannin, charred peaches, singed orange peel, cinnamon, white pepper, nutmeg. Peat comes through a bit more rubbery and less smoky. Peat is even more subtle than the first edition.

  • Finish:

    The finish is long, gritty and ashy. Dry sherry influence comes through, and then that nutty/butterscotchy profile from the nose makes a gentle return.

  • Overall:

    A delicious malt. The Amontillado influence is heavy and works spectacularly alongside subtle peat.
