Big Peat Small Batch 'Limited Edition'
Nose: Peat, autumnal
burning leaves, beach barbecued bacon, sea spray, witch hazel, a honey and
lemon hot toddy, Lindt chilli chocolate, warm spelt bread flour, McVitie’s
digestive biscuits and a flirtation of something fresh and floral.
Palate: Peat,
damp pavement, a recently tarred road, brine, roasted red capsicum, a kick-ette
of chilli heat, ground black pepper, Lockets honey and lemon lozenges, Turkish
coffee, fresh ginger, blackberry jam, a puff-ette of a Cafe Crème cigar and
some freshly chopped parsley.
Finish: Bold,
brash and beautifully lingering.
Summary: All
in all this just makes you want to climb onto the nearest roof and shout “Let’s
hear it for the blends”. Love the standard bottling but this really does deliver
an added profound peaty punch. Love it!
