English Whisky Company Chapter 4

Country: England

Region:

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46%

Score: 79 Points

This technically isn’t a whisky yet…it’s an 18-month-old peated spirit that’s a preview of the single malt whisky to be released in mid-2010. The nose is peat and dried grass, while the taste is thick and oily, syrupy-sweet with a touch of caramel candy, peat, and creosote. The finish has a delayed spicy kick that lingers. This spirit has great potential, but its youth shows in the lack of overall balance.
