330ml bottle from the Craft Bar, Pitmedden. It pours clear deep red with a tiny bubbly cap. The aroma is heady and intoxicating notes of peat, peated whisky, bitter - sweet, vanilla, whisky fudge, toffee crisp, toasted coconut, dried fruits and boozed soaked fruit cake. The taste is firmly dry, slick, oily, resinous, sappy, candied orange, peach, toasted fruit cake, plenty of heavy peated vibes, peat reek, vanilla fudge, charred, toasty, bonfire and warming booze with a smoky, spicy oak finish. Medium+ body, limited carbonation and slick mouth feel. A touch more carbonation wouldn't go amiss, but I like the heady peat in this. Decent.
