I typically avoid Single Malts and peated whiskies. However, this offering from ASW truly impressed me. The distillers demonstrate skill in creating excellent whiskey, and I thoroughly enjoyed this pour, especially considering it's a single malt.
I'm really getting cherry cola and caramelized bacon notes, with a smoky, BBQ-like quality. It certainly has more intense flavors on the palate than most Islay single malts; perhaps the name hints at this.
Not overly peaty, with pleasant smoky notes reminiscent of BBQ. Clearly not Islay level, representing more of an introductory peat experience. Nevertheless, a very enjoyable small serving. (The cask strength version is even more impressive)
Thoroughly enjoyed. I plan to buy more for myself, but it's too smoky for broad appeal.
It's acceptable if you're a fan of peated whiskies. It differs somewhat from Islay scotches.
Noticeable burn and peat smokiness. Good malt foundation too.
