The English Chapter 8 Peated / Smokey Single Malt Whisky 3 Year Old · 2007 Vintage

Colour

Golden amber with sunlit honey tones and a soft copper glow.

Nose

Intense peat smoke dominates the nose, earthy and medicinal with creosote, like a seaside bonfire. Beneath, citrus zest and vanilla mingle with crisp barley, a whisper of sea salt and damp stone, and faint herbal notes of heather. A brisk, youthful aroma that hints at smoky warmth to come.

Palate

Bold peat smoke coats the palate, balanced by creamy malt and toasted cereal. Citrus zest and a touch of sea-salt sparkle through a whisper of vanilla, with iodine and charred oak providing a steady backbone. A compact, warming finish of smoky sweetness and peppery spice lingers.

Finish

Long, coastal-smoked finish with bold peat, ash and char that gracefully gives way to vanilla-drenched malt. A gentle sweetness lingers, crowned by soft pepper and a whisper of sea air, leaving a warming, contemplative afterglow that invites the next sip.
