Tasting note

Robust peat smoke, smokey bacon, cinnamon and nutmeg, creamy sweet vanilla

On the palate, robust peat smoke and savoury smoky bacon meet creamy sweet vanilla, milk chocolate with the hint of cherry casks.

Matured in a combination of former bourbon and sherry casks, it bears a nose slightly less smoky than the distillery's flagship 10-year-old. On the palate, it's creamier, too, with luscious notes of pear, honey, nutty oak and a character that put me in mind of dark chocolate wrapped in smoky bacon drizzled with a dollop of vanilla. As it moves toward the long finish, Perpetuum's peaty campfire and creosote builds force, with peppery spice and a salty tang giving it further lift. 2 bottle limit per customer.
