PEAT FAERIE 2

This 7 year old is the little brother of the 10 year old original Peat Faerie released last year. The single malts in Peat Faerie 2 come from both barrels and hogsheads from Islay and Speyside. The peat is ramped up a bit from the original Peat Faerie and the bottling comes in at 50%.

Flavour profile:  Lightly peated.

Outturn:  2172 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "The nose enticed with vanilla, pineapple and white chocolate, while a sweet dustiness reminded one panellist of chalk board dusters. We found a distinct maritime edge, smoked salted butter and old fashioned straw pressed cider. The peat smoke led on the palate accompanied by salty peanut brittle, caramelised red apples and watermelon jelly.

A splash of water brought toasted (borderline smoky) coconut, while soft minty notes gave way to lightly smoked white fish. The palate was slightly drying at first with a building sweet intensity. Flakes of sea salt were lightly sprinkled onto tropical fruit making for a sweet and savoury crescendo fitting of this regional marriage."
