Jim McEwan's persönlichen Eindrücke ungefiltert:
Colour: Summer sun on Hebridean sand .
Nose: Initially the nose is sea spray and caramel, lemon balm and pipe tobacco. Slowly the peat smoke rises from the glass gentle but strong lifting vanilla, mint, toffee, golden syrup and almond. Peach follows with pear syrup and and buttercup. A symphony, a delight to experience.
Palate: Wow! Smoothness, sweetness and then smoke. A texture like no other. Satin soft and devilishly warming. The American oak influence is in perfect tune with the smoke and soft fruits delicately and skilfully coaxed from the Still during exceptionally slow distillation. Vanilla, honey and citrus rise up to be met with sea spray and leather, smoked mussels mix with Autumn bracken and creme brûlée.
Finish: As the sweetness from the oak fades the salt comes to the fore one last time while the peat smoke steady and true grows and outlasts all else!
Mood: The feeling is that of long Summer nights turning cooler and shorter as Autumn approaches. Watch the sun set over the sea and breath the peat smoke hanging in the air.
