Taste

Almond? Nice full peat taste and mouth feel. This seems well balanced on peat and the barrel. It must surely be in a wine cask but it’s pale. A tokaji or some such

Nose
Slightly sulphuring, maybe some barbecued lamb with plenty of fat sizzling away. A touch of leather I’m picking up and some nice malty notes.

Dot4

Taste
Interesting. Some building white pepper spice. Honey and hay. Grassy peat surrounds the tongue. Seaweed? Peach? Tyre fire

This is intriguing, not beautiful so not unpleasant. I think it’s the most interesting so far.

Best so far. Scores 3/4

Nose

A return of the cabbage at this time with some rubber and tire notes also there’s some honey some heat and some kind of custardy buttery wafts. maybe a touch of Madeira.

#BlindDrams
Dot 3
Taste
Similar to the last. Accessible/underpowered
Some red fruit in there. Leather and wood. Drying on the finish after the sweetness of its entry. Peat is mild and contributes nicely. But it’s a pleasant 2 for me

Dot2

Taste

Low key and low powered. 40% surely. Finished in a Sherry something. Biscuit . a touch of tar. I think this at cask strength would be fierce. A little dirty

£20 Supermarket budget balancer? Or £250 45yo budget buster?

Anyhow. It’s quite nice. If not complex.
