Peat's Beast 27 Year Old Series 3, 50.1%

Aged for twenty seven years in oak casks giving a full flavour with a powerful delivery of peat and smoke. There is a surprising sweetness with delicate fruity notes whilst spice mingles with a burning ember of smokiness.

Colour – A vibrant collage of copper amber gold radiates before you.

Nose – Generous, bold, and powerful, the hand of time has fully crafted this gentle giant as a spectrum of enticing nuances reveal its iconic credentials, ginger spice, Madagascan Vanilla pod, Autumn leaves bonfire smoke and freshly baked banana bread. There is also a seductive interplay of roasted walnuts, thick black toffee, bitter chocolate, and liquorice that lingers gently on the aftertaste.

Taste – Complex yet intriguing, as a multitude of enticing flavours makes their presence felt. It makes you smile involuntarily, the way a distinguished whisky of this exceptional calibre does with its many fine attributes. Age, along with the gentle hand of "Mother Nature" has truly crafted and moulded this noble Islay single malt to perfection. Like all great things, it must be given time to take in these noble qualities of aged mulled wine, moist Christollen cake, smoked Old English marmalade and treacle tart. However, another level of exuberance quickly follows on with generous flavours of apple tart tatin, thick marzipan, old balsamic and espresso coffee. A hint of sun kissed raisins, over-ripe Cayenne pineapple and Bakewell tart drenched in maple syrup completes this aged masterpiece.

Truly, a compelling portrait of beauty!
