Douglas Laing - Clan Denny Islay Vatted Malt.

Bowmore, Bunnahabhaib, Caol Ila and Laphroaig.

Nose: mildly awesome: a mixing of varying grists - peaty, but on so many planes;

Taste: still on the grist blitz with a powdery smokiness working well with a veiled honey theme;

Finish: dries out at first but a smoky butterscotch balances things out;

Balance: a very different take on Islay with the heavy peats somehow having a floating quality. Unique.
