Official bottling
Single malt - Islands
Golden
45.9% ABV
Dram
Nose: Toffee, butterscotch, raisins, maraschino cherries, autumn leaves, hints of honey.
Mouthfeel: Light body, loosens, cool, airy.
Tasting: Bitter salty. Autumn leaves, charcoal ash, maraschino cherries, honey, sea salt, germolene, hints of golden syrup.
Finish: Medium. Lemon zest, sea salt, peat, autumn leaves, honey.
Comments:
Sweeter, lots of cherry and cough syrup notes from the oloroso finish. Unfortunately these clash a little bit with the peat and smoke. That’s the risk with sherrying peated stuff, it often doesn’t quite go together.
Verdict:
I like this.
