Peat’s Beast, Batch Strength, P.X Fresh Cask Finish

Batch strength Finished for 9 months in Pedro Ximinez casks.

Colour
Glows like a barley field of shimmering gold… but with hints of a darker burnished copper from the PX cask finish.

Nose
Damp smoke, peat, TCP, seaweed then morphing into sweet syrupy burnt sugar notes from the Sherry cask.

Taste
So we have the familiar hints of peppery peat smoke, damp burnt bracken and the salty notes of seaweed. But Peat’s Beast Sherry gives you more. There are subtle sweet notes of dates and figs with the sweet hues of Spanish Sherry; an absolute juxtaposition between dry peat smoke and rum and raisin ice cream, a quite sublime dram. On the palate a real peat bite but wrapped in a gorgeous warm coat of dates, figs, hints of clove and vanilla. The peat fire stays at the back of the throat but there are strong notes of chocolate, sweet rum and raisin ice cream, burnt caramel. Incredibly long finish.
