I’m not a great fan of Peated Whisky but this one is superb, gently Peated Sherry Hogshead doesn’t get better than this very smooth Whisky, a very pleasant surprise.

Sublime malt.
Have to say from the off, it’s a wee bobby dazzler. Beautiful sweet notes of sherry, stewed pears and a slight hint of smoke. On the palate it’s like a nice clootie pudding, plenty of warmth, raisins and black treacle. And then at the end just a nice gentle hint of that smokiness you’d expect from an Orkney. Definitely needs just a wee splash of H2O due to the proof, but it opens it up beautifully. There’s a nice lingering finish which just leaves you wanting more. Absolute belter at this price. Another great example from Signatory Vintage.
