BIG PEAT |
| Very pale straw colour. Extremely intense, very smoky, peaty, sweetish, ketchup-tinged nose. Intense, dry, full bodied, dense, very smoky, peaty, somewhat sweetish, caramel-licorice flavours with a long, lingering, very tangy finish. Not for everyone. |

| TASTING NOTE: Nose: magnificent array of salt and bitty peat; heavy yet light enough for the most delicate of citrus. Hard to find a nose which screams "Islay" at you with such a lack of ambiguity: it is frankly, perfect. Taste: the delivery is constructed around a fabulous bourbon Demerara sugar and liquorice framework; the peat enters as soon as this is in place an in varying layers of oiliness and depth. The mid ground sees the re-ermergence of the more complex Ardbeg and Port Ellen factions, a bourbon style, small grains busyness; Finish: long, accompanied by soft Demereara.
