  • This wasn't bad, but it was definitely young and significantly out of balance. It could use some more time in the cask.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Young and sweet, big vanilla. Super fruity, really loaded with Dole fruit syrupy sugar notes and a big, wet peat presence. Earthy and mossy.

  • Taste:

    Medium mouth feel, musty and sweet. The peat is super earthy and mineral forward and it almost tastes wine finished - there is a ton of fruit character here. The sweetness and the peat are both really in your face, and they don't blend very well.

  • Finish:

    Long and earthy with a lot of pepper, salty smoke and dominant earthy peat. I said earthy twice because the peat here is super raw. Then the vanilla makes a final stand.

  • Overall:

    This wasn't bad, but it was definitely young and significantly out of balance. It could use some more time in the cask.
