Producer's notes: NOSE: IMMEDIATELY REMINDS ME OF MCCARTHY'S OREGON PEATED MALT WHISKY! THE SPIRIT IS WONDERFULLY AROMATIC WITH BAY, DRIED GINGER, FENUGREEK AND A HINT OF (DON'T SAY IT...) BEE POLLEN! THERE IS A SYRUPY SWEETNESS WHICH IS WELL INTEGRATED WITH THE PEAT - GREAT SYRUP MIXED WITH ASH. UNDER DILUTION, I GET GRIST, SEASHELLS AND SMOKED PINEAPPLE.

PALATE: THE PALATE IMMEDIATELY TAKES YOU TO THE SOUTH SIDE OF ISLAY! THE PEAT BEGINS TO DISSIPATE AND THE SPICES APPEAR AGAIN, THERE IS ALSO A LOVELY CHARRED SWEET NUTTINESS WHICH REMINDS ME OF ALMOND BRITTLE. BMX TYRE (IN A GOOD WAY!), BLACK CARDAMOM. DILUTION SOFTENS AND INTEGRATED EVERYTHING - FEELS MUCH OLDER THAN 3, NO HARSHNESS.

FINISH: SPEARMINT, TAR, HESSIAN AND AROMATIC SPICES.
