Bourbon Cask - MOS13053
Dist: Nov 2002 Btl: Oct 2013
Tasted: Oct 2014
The nose is fresh and salty with plenty of camphor, bog myrtle, iodine earth and sweet, sooty peat. The cask notes of sweet dried fruit and treacle come through, but damn that peat is picking up a head of steam, as they say! With time hints of stewed plum, burnt wood and tar appear.
The palate is moist and treacly with the sherry showing an almost Pedro Ximinez-like dried grape character. The sherry is so dense and thick only a touch of camphor and peat smoke can penetrate it! Seriously coffee’d on the middle with spicy tannin notes. Then……. The brakes really come off and it’s all aboard for the Islay Express! – medicinal, herbal, salty, tarry, creosote laden peat rushes through on the finish. Whoa, that’s intense! A seriously impressive finale with the oily, but sweet peat, earth, dusty dark chocolate and sweet violet notes lingering.
