Nose: dried fruit, earthiness, peat.
Taste: quite bitter in the first attempt. But after adding a few drops of water, it gets very greasy and light peat appears. The whole is very well balanced. The aroma is quite strong.
Rating: 88 100 A fairly long finish with a sweet profile and a slight sharpness similar to English rum.

This was a really odd whisky, in a good way. Tasted blind I’d probably say it was a Ledaig due to the incredibly potent funk this has to it. Not as complex or intense as some society bottlings I’ve tried, but veryunique and super enjoyable.

Nose

Much funkier than the usual Springbank profile, almost on par with Ledaig. Wet leaves. Earthy peat. Radish. Salty toffee. Plums. Ozone. Dried red fruits. Goji berries.

Taste

Gasoline. Bitter wood. Salty, earthy funk. Peanut oil. Sultanas. Dried berries.

Finish

Long. Caramel toffee. Gasoline. Menthol. Red fruits. Grape juice. Slight wiffs of chemical smoke and unlit tobacco.
