  • An oil of clove coolness takes control on the finish. Great balance and integration; a finish that genuinely works.

  • Very odd but very well made, even if it’s more some sort of cocktail in my view. We may soon start to play with some peaters and a little grenadine or strawberry syrup…

  • This is a really great port influenced peated dram. I think I still prefer Laphroaig Portwood but this is easily found and well priced where it sits so I'm not complaining.

House Review
  • Nose:

    honey, jam, raspberry and jelly. marmalade, strawberry, pepper, mild peat

  • Taste:

    sweet syrupy jam and peat. vanilla, pound cake, pepper, good mouthfeel

  • Finish:

    Long, good heat, sweet, peppery, fruity peat. Much more integrated. Mild astringency

  • Overall:

    This is a really great port influenced peated dram. I think I still prefer Laphroaig Portwood but this is easily found and well priced where it sits so I'm not complaining. I'm going to give this a Rank 7 - delicious and complex.
