SMOKY, SALTY, SWEET PORRIDGE

This 9 year old from Islay comes in at 61.2% after maturing in a refill barrel

Flavour profile:  Peated

Outturn:  150 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "Plenty of peat smoke, chimney soot and tar right at the beginning, but it did not stop there as we discovered an underlying sweetness which needed to be unearthed. In time we discovered aromas of brown sugar glazed parsnips, honey roasted chocolate peanuts and black currant wine gums. The taste was like a sweet golden syrup, but at the same time, smoky salty austere, steaming hot creamy porridge – most unusual. Water calmed tempers somewhat, on the nose now sweet potatoes and honey glazed carrots whilst on the palate grilled hot dogs with mango chutney and red onion relish."

Drinking tip:  "Experience the difference between neat and diluted"
