Paul John Select Cask Peated 55.5%
Tasting Note
Batch 1
Btl: May 2018
Tasted: July 2019
An intensely fresh, citric and peaty nose with hints of medicinal peat and iodine. Lovely balance with the barley and subtle dark, tropical fruit, malt and toasty oak appearing along with a touch of treacle and tar. Very complex and very impressive!
The palate has a lovely softness which belies its abv. Dry, husky barley and dry peat to begin with, followed by medicinal peat, subtle tar, treacle and malt with a touch of toasty oak and honey on the middle. Long, citric, dusty and very violety finish with lingering bananary fruit, salt and mocha.
A drop of water emphasises the medicinal notes, toasty oak, barley and brings out a light tea/ cigar leaf note. The palate is softer and drier with less medicinal notes and more duty, earthy peat. Still very salty and citric with a seriously mouth-watering citric finish with a barley and dry peat after-taste. Stunning!
