Hogback Peat Smoked Straight Malt Whisky

A wild ride. Tropical fruits, some dryness, and smoke greet you initially. The taste is sweet, rich, smoky, and peaty. A tannin sensation coats your mouth with a hint of BBQ tang. The finish is shorter than expected for a peaty spirit, leaving a sweet toffee to savor. It's good overall, showing complexity despite its youth and a sense of not being fully formed.
