Well well well.
Peculiar.
Very peculiar.
There's a peaty assault across the bar as the glass is poured. This is going to be a beast.
On the first few sips, only grassy young spirit flavours manage to punch through the 61% ABV and fearsome smoky/peatiness.
But nothing too unpleasantly medicinal, at least.
After the initial adjustment, there's a flood of sweet grapiness. I'm told it's matured in some high end dessert wine casks, so that makes sense.
So there's smokiness, sweetness, grassy young spirit, grape, and a big punch of alcohol. Does it all work? I'm not sure. It holds together much better than it should, but a sweet tooth as well as a sense of adventure are required to properly appreciate this.
I won't be rushing back, but it's been an experience.
