A CHIMNEY SWEEP'S LUNCH BOX

This 18 year old from Islay was matured in a refill hogshead and comes in at 55.3%

Flavour profile:  Peated

Outturn:  204 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "Clouds of dusty burnt ash began to settle on the remains of scorched wood and a pile of black soot with its characteristic tar-laden aroma. Sitting back the chimney sweep placed the lunch box on his blackened old leather apron and opened the lid to reveal smoked salmon on toasted rye bread, oat cakes with cinnamon honey and an olive and feta salad with a herbal dressing and crumbled smoked haddock. Opening his flask he poured a refreshing cup of eucalyptus and menthol tea and enjoyed the seaside view from the window as the tide gently washed against the seaweed-covered rocks."

Drinking tip:  "As a welcome reward for knocking out an old fireplace"
