Right, another small review from the samples I received from
@MightyQuin (again, thanks for your generosity).
This time I tried the Port Charlotte Heavily Peated and boy was I in for a treat.
I poured some in my glass, had it sitting there for a while, took a whiff and thought I should perhaps pour it back into the bottle. I had to sit for a while, trying to figure out what I was smelling when I realised it smells a bit like ocean air as well as some mint. There were some other smells going on but I have yet to put my finger on it. I want to say it was very complex on my nose.
I decided to let it sit some more before I decided to taste it. Took my first sip and I thought there was some sort of chaotic trance party happening in my mouth.
I was waiting for the overbearing peat taste but was surprised by how mild it actually is compared to the nose. There was a taste of tar, bit of citrus fruit but I was 'looking' for the mint which my nose found but it was short lived.
I must say this was an oily type of whisky but the extremely good kind of oil.
This is certainly a Whisky to go back to, many times over and over. I now understand why people see this as a classic, and a whisky that will stay a classic for many years to come.
The whisky is extremely complex but I like it so much and look forward to dissect the rest of taste that is hidden inside.
Im very privileged to have been able to try this one. I always read people's reviews and it has always been very favourable and I can now finally agree with everyone, this is something you MUST try, no exceptions.
