Eifel Peated Single Malt (2019 Release)

I’m calling this the pitmaster’s dram: the nose has muscular peat smoke prune juice savory notes of barbecued brisket bark venison charcuterie and a hint of peppermint cream. The palate is a gluttonous feast of sweet dark fruits milk chocolate dried fig plum sultanas and ginger sliding into baked orange and spicy gingerbread and wallowing luxuriously in chocolate and rich fruit. A welcome addition to Eifel’s already impressive range. (1200 bottles for the U.S.)
