Smell
Upon the first nosing, intense aromas of ashy, cold campfire smoke emerge, accompanied by earthy notes. A subtle sweetness of honey and vanilla harmonizes with a pronounced sea breeze reminiscent of salty seawater. This combination imparts deep complexity and authenticity to the whisky.
Taste
On the palate, the whisky is oily and full-bodied. Fresh citrus notes, especially lemon zest, meet chalky hints and a touch of medicinal iodine, reminiscent of bandages. The voluminous smoke is complemented by nuances of heather and a slight nuttiness, adding depth and complexity to the whisky.
Finish
The finish is medium-length, characterized by a salty, seawater-like note. A light fruit sweetness emerges, while the lingering campfire smoke provides a warming conclusion. The complexity of the finish both surprises and delights.
Thoughts
This whisky impresses with its clear and rounded character. The extremely intriguing finish makes it a remarkable representative of Islay whiskies. Feinkost Reifferscheid has once again showcased their keen sense for exceptional whiskies with this bottling.
