Loads of peated Scotch, but incredibly well balanced. Bitter and nutty. 2022 vintage.

Bottle from HoTM. Aged on peated whisky barrels from Islay, Argyle & Bute. It pours darkest brown - nearing black with a thick, bubbly tan head. The aroma is dark roasted malted, sticky, tarry, treacle, umami, burnt toast, toasted nut, sticky smoked meats, dull vanilla, Islay whisky, rocky road, dried fruits and fruit cake. The taste is firmly dry, dark roasted malt, savoury, umami, chewy, toothy, dried fruits, berry, fruit cake, bitter - sweet, dull acidity, sticky, warming booze, burnt treacle, liquorice, pipe tobacco, lightly peated whisky and light medicinal vibes. Finish is drying and roasty..fulsome body, fine carbonation and slick mouth feel. A bit toothy number. Fun slipper, but sits fairly heavy.

These BDs aren't convincing me so far. Pretty decent BA stout, but sooo much barrel that the base is lost. Pretty thin, boozy and reasonably smooth. Barrel gives a lot of peat. Mostly normally way too expensive for the result. Fine for a festival.
