Notes
Cask No. 66.202
Sneaky Peat
Highland, Eastern
Selected by American Members at The Tasting Panel Experience 2022
Plenty of smoke in this expression with smoked ham, smoked trout, chimney smoke and sweet peat leaping from the glass. But also some briny and mineralic maritime notes and mentholic medicinal notes, not to mention sweet aromas of brown sugar, apple and brown sauce. On the neat palate, the smoky element appears as bonfire, smoked salmon, smoked trout, burnt chestnuts, pig roast; the sweet notes as maple syrup, grilled pears, sweet peas, rose petals and burnt vanilla. One panel detected new ‘tennis balls’! At reduced strength, the smokiness reduced to smoked brisket and smoked haddock, the maritime/medicinal notes to Band-Aid and sea breeze. But several panelists detected lemon, lemongrass, honeysuckle and fresh mown grass. One panelist went for ‘deviled eggs and caviar’. The taste was sweeter than the nose indicated – toffee, chocolate caramel, apple pancakes with maple syrup, plum juice – but still with traces of smoked ham. Hard to believe you’re not in Islay with this sneaky dram!
