Tasting Notes

Details

Body: medium weight and well defined for a young islander. the texture is rich, sweet and mellow and the viscosity of the sauterne brings balance to the power of the peat. this is a most sophisticated octomore and it’s kind of unbelievable to see “the beast” tamed a little!

Nose: the opening is a beautiful combination of peat smoke, bracken, leather, tobacco pouches, bog-myrtle & briny waves. then little twists of home-made mint toffee enter the system as do the nutty notes from the oaks – both french and american. and so the dance goes on but where is the french beauty? she waits patiently on the fringes then at exactly the right moment she makes her entrance from the epicentre of the spirit bringing aromatics and flavour the young ileach could only dream about. it’s a brilliant engagement
