After a very first bottling in January 2021, which was quickly sold out, the distillery released this one the following August. It is a blend of 30 casks of Bourbon and American whiskey. The barley used is a blend of Concerto and Laureate peated at 77 ppm, with a residual peat after distillation of 17 ppm.

 

 

 

Let's Taste It : 

From the outset, there's coarse salt, sea foam, tide, seawater-laden sand and the sea breeze. The rest is dominated by the influence of Bourbon casks, especially creamy vanilla and a few grains of Italia grape. On the palate, it's very light, with vague hints of bourbon, a good pile of vegetal peat and a pinch of salt. Rustic spices. The finish is pleasant, earthy and iodised, not very long but decent. Flower of salt. Mirabelle plum. Hazelnuts and almonds.

 

In Short, 

Like its predecessor, it's not bad, but it's still very young and lacks a bit of personality. At the moment, I'd say it's a bit too much like Talisker, only not as good. It'll be a few years before it looks like anything else.

Score : 85
