CHIMNEY SWEEP'S ROMANTIC BBQ

This 9 year old Highland Islander was matured in a refill hogshead and comes in at 60.6%

Flavour profile:  Peated

Outturn:  228 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "A dynamic nose, containing sharp fruits (pear, pineapple, sherbet lemons, tinned fruit cocktail), ferns by a rocky waterfall, smoked shellfish and a musket fired up a chimney. The palate had intense, youthful spirit and smoke; also pear ice-lolly, toffee apple, butterscotch, muscovado and bacon Frazzles, then charred logs, wasabi and pickled ginger to finish. The reduced nose conjured up a romantic barbecue with a chimney sweep – lobster, scallops, sweet smoke, snuffed out vanilla candles and hints of Mosel wine. The reduced palate remained voluptuously viscous, bursting with sweet peat smoke, chocolate pralines and liquorice; young and feisty, but totally enjoyable."
