Review #412 |
This is
matured in ex Bourbon barrels and the PPM level sits at 20. Nice subtle peat in
the smell. Some pears and apples but nothing too sweet. Actually it is very
light considering the ABV at 50, and not much is going on.
The peat is
the first thing to hit the palate. Then some vanilla and hints of exotic fruits
in the background. Just a touch! Pineapples and coconut. In the finish I get
some grass that mixes with the peat and a little wood and spices. Some light
citrusy notes is present from smell to finish.
Fine dram,
fine balance, but I miss some complexity. It tastes young, but the peat makes
up for the missing flavours you normally get from longer maturation. Can’t wait
for Glenglassaugh to make some older peated versions! I will give this 82/100 (20/21/21/20).
