Smokestack Lightning 13 Year Old, Uncharted Whisky

“Whoa, smokestack lightnin’
Shinin’ just like gold”

A cask-strength juggernaut, billowing smoke and fully loaded with full-bodied flavour.

As you may have noticed, they always name their whiskies after classic records which have stood the test of time. This whisky was named for the bawling blues classic by the utterly unique Howlin’ Wolf. Although to them, his gravelly voice sounded more like a howlin’ bear. This full bodied and gutsy cask strength number bellows charcoal smoke and electrifying flavour.

A mystery distillery, heavily peated and from the Highland region, Speyside is often called a “sub-region” of Highland and they can only reveal that this billowing smoky libation is a Speysider.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Smoke bellows out of the glass- super sweet and earthy. Smoldering barbecued marshmallow, and new leather follow.

Palate: A coal scuttle, a blast of sweetness mingle with a touch of delicate wine. This fades to an apple crumble warmth layered in with the ubiquitous smoke. Feinty leathers rise toward the finish.

Finish: Long and mellow, the smoke departs and granny’s biscuit tin emerges from the cupboard alongside a touch of citrus.
