That Boutique-y Whisky Company Irish Single Malt 2001

Bonfire smoke sea salt caramel and plain chocolate with a dry minerality and a reassuring dusty garden shed aroma. Chocolate and ripe fruit on the palate with pears some tart acidity candied jellies then damsons sultanas cocoa and cinnamon. The creamy mouthfeel slides into Bourneville plain chocolate. The peatiness is well integrated supporting the alignment of flavors: the smoke outlasts the fading chocolate-cinnamon finish. Best neat as water blunts the precision and enjoyable sharp edges. £67
