46% ABV, 92 proof, 12 years old, 100% single malt scotch whisky, Three cask matured: Bourbon, Sherry, Marsala Wine
Nose: Orange marmalade right away, this bouquet is very deep. The jamminess drys into tobacco and a hint of vanilla.
Palate: The smoke hits a little less singularly, blending into the dry spiciness on the palate as well as the very long dark chocolate finish. I don’t pick up a lot of distinct notes, yet it remains immensely complex.
Score: 5/5
Final Thoughts: First off, The Smoky Twelve. My heart. I don’t typically tend toward peated whiskies, so I was completely taken aback when an annual line 12-year whisky came across like this. It’s delicate, complicated, and the smoke seems to tie the spirit together as opposed to being its own profile. I’m shocked.
