Flavor Profile
Lightly Peated
The whisky presents a striking contrast between Highland peat smoke and delicate sweetness, with lightly chocolatey notes, honey, and ginger coming to the fore.
It delivers a dynamic interplay of the smoke devil and sweet sherry character, pulling the drinker toward rich chocolate and spice before intensifying into a smoky, savory experience.
The whisky concludes with persistent peat smoke and warmth, leaving a lingering balance of the sherry's sweetness against the smokehouse intensity.
About Smoke devil marries a delicate sweet thing: Here we have Highland peat and Oloroso sherry combined in a 17-year-old “Beauty and the Beast” type dram that will knock your proverbial socks off. At once pulling you toward lightly chocolatey notions with honey and ginger before pushing you headlong into a smokehouse of fun. A most delicious dichotomy!
