Not typical peat whisky, not like Ailovsky profile, absolutely not an amateur.

Nose

Some kind of oil, dry, not powerful, earthy, soot, soot, very mineral, there is no sensation of smoke like from a fire, maybe coals, there is fruit sweetness, iodine.

Taste

Smoky, burning, sweet, a little sea, iodine, there is the influence of a barrel, some kind of ointment finol,

Finish

Simple sweetish but long lasting.

Delicious, cheeky, smoky young malt. He drinks well at his fortress.

Nose

Perfumery and floral, with plant (needles, foliage) and sea (iodine, salt, algae) notes, with a small content of coal and pepper.

Taste

Slightly harsh, sweet-smoked, in addition slightly salty, peppery and oaky.

Finish

Medium duration, buttery, with hints of salt, pepper, iodine and smoked fish.

N- Walnut oil, oyster, toffee and honeycomb cake breeze thru. Fresh cut grass, earthy peat with sweet pandan crème brûlée and berries. Surprisingly light on nose despite the hefty strength. Get even coast-ier, seaweed, salted herbs, shellfish and clove-y. (88/22)

P- Sweet on tip, plenty of smokes rises from the back. Vanilla biscuit, cedar cigar box, sooty, grassy and liquorice with brunt salt. Hint of caol ila. (87/21)

F- Medium-long, smooth, clean and dry with liquorice. Not pushing the boundary hard enough. (86/20)

B/B- 87/21. Feel rounder than First Edition, which lost a bit of fun and appeared 'generic'.

Cr- 2, Fr- 2, Fl- 1, Pt- 2, Ft- 1, Sp- 0, Wd-1, Wn-1, Sc-2

Weighted Rate- 84pt

I decent peated whisky, although it does miss some distinct character to make it stand apart from let’s say, lightly peated whisky from Islay. The Arran character is there, but it is almost pushed away by the bourbon cask influence. What’s left is good, but not great (yet). Remains interesting, though.

Nose

85 85

Initially, soft peat come forward that is backed up by Arran’s usual fruitiness with fresh apples and pears. A few drops of citrus fruits, and a light coastal influence with some sea spray and wet moss, are also there. All very well balanced and very friendly. Raspberry sweets, no make that strawberry, lemon skin, and a few drops of orange juice. A drop of water brings out more barley sugar, ripe apples, a few raisins, cinnamon, and a more mineral side. The citrus fruits remind me somewhat of Caol Ila, which is surely not a bad thing I would say.

Taste

86 86

The palate is less fruity at first and contain more peat, moss, leaves, and stables (no idea how you could taste that, though). Almost a lighter and younger apprentice of Lagavulin. Almost instantly, the bourbon cask influence comes forward. Oranges, lemons, lime, and vanilla, with fresh apple compote, the latter a touch of Arran. Water subdues the peat and brings out more sweetness. Also there are some vanilla sugar, baker’s cream, and salty crisps. It is quite fresh.

Finish

85 85

The finish is fairly long with more vegetal peat, salt and lemons. I would say this is quite good.
