Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky - 'Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Sherry Casks' Whisky 70cl 40% ABV - 10 Year Aged Whisky

Peat and sherry is a great combo, though sometimes it can be a bit like a shouting match between a foghorn and a washing machine full of pots and pans. Thankfully, this one shows off a welcome harmony between the two. It's a marvellous variation of Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire, featuring the same smoky 10 year old Islay single malt, though instead of just 25% of it being finished in sherry casks, the entirety of the whisky was finished in them. The powerfully peaty notes at its core are mellowed by just enough sherry sweetness, making for a superbly well-balanced flavour profile.

Nose: Oatcakes, vegetal peat, hot Ribena, assorted BBQ meats, molasses, clove-studded orange, and just a hint of chocolate mousse.
Palate: Cinder toffee, cinnamon, peat still shining through, a slow build of red grape and jammy raisin, with some citrus lift. A subtle touch of singed hay later on.
Finish: Meaty malt returns, with warm oak in support. The red grape tannins continue and last on the finish.
Overall: A top expression that shows what can happen when peat and sherry meet without clashing against each other.
