Blackadder
Raw Cask Peat Reek Cask Strength 61.3%
Bourbon Hogshead
Tasted: June 2016
Crisp, fresh and slightly oily Caol Ila-like aromas with sweet barley, manure, waxy lime, lemon , malt biscuits and earthy peat. Quite light on the oak character which allows the freshness to come through uninhibited. The alcohol is very well integrated and almost unnoticeable, which is amazing considering it’s close to 60%.
The palate is fresh, citric and lightly oily with a touch of brine. Lovely complexity of earthy and sweet, heathery peat with a touch of waxy citrus and white fruit on the middle. Long, intense, sweet, peat dust finish with lingering barley, honey and a touch of coffee. The sweetness of the malt superbly balances the alcohol.
Water emphasises the juicy orange and although it lessens the intensity of the palate it does bring out a touch of peppery spice. (Tasting Note from the 59.6% bottling)
