Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky - 'Seaweed & Aeons &
Digging & Fire & Sherry Casks' Whisky 70cl 40% ABV - 10
Year Aged Whisky
Brand: Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire
Peat and sherry is a great combo, though sometimes it
can be a bit like a shouting match between a foghorn and a washing
machine full of pots and pans. Thankfully, this one shows off a
welcome harmony between the two. It's a marvellous variation of
Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire, featuring the same
smoky 10 year old Islay single malt, though instead of just 25% of
it being finished in sherry casks, the entirety of the whisky was
finished in them. The powerfully peaty notes at its core are
mellowed by just enough sherry sweetness, making for a superbly
well-balanced flavour profile. Nose: Oatcakes, vegetal peat, hot
Ribena, assorted BBQ meats, molasses, clove-studded orange, and
just a hint of chocolate mousse. Palate: Cinder toffee, cinnamon,
peat still shining through, a slow build of red grape and jammy
raisin, with some citrus lift. A subtle touch of singed hay later
on. Finish: Meaty malt returns, with warm oak in support. The red
grape tannins continue and last on the finish. Overall: A top
expression that shows what can happen when peat and sherry meet
without clashing against each other. You must be at least 18 years
