Kommentar: Ich liebe rauchige Whiskys - und da ist er der absolute GeheimtipPeat Smoke Nuts Fruit
Peter

Aroma: Peat Smoke Ham Sweet Fruit Eine eher dreckige Rauchnote à la alter Räucherkammer. Ein paar vergorene Früchte. Nicht gerade komplex, aber angenehm.

Geschmack: Sweet Malt Spices Peat Smoke Süß und malzig. Ein paar Gewürze mischen sich rein. Der Rauch meldet sich erst nach einer Weile wieder. Im Geschmack auch eher unterkomplex.

Abgang: Peat Smoke Sweet Spices Herb Oak Nochmal volle Rauchladung, schön süß. Deutlich mehr Gewürzfracht, driftet in eine herbe Trockenheit ab. Im Abgang reißt es dieser Whisky dann doch noch raus.

Kommentar: insgesamt zwar eher wenig komplex, aber dieser Dram macht das, was er soll. Und das macht er an sich ganz gut. Die Jugend stört hier überhaupt nicht, der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden, angenehm aromatische Rauchnote. Nur mit dem Preis tue ich mich leider schwer. Ich finde das dann doch etwas viel, für das was man hier geboten bekommt.
