Black Bottle Smoke & Dagger - Alchemy Series
Black Bottle
Tasting Notes
This Smoke & Dagger expression from the Alchemy Series is an unapologetic smoke bomb that will leave any peat head grinning from ear to ear. The nose is an onslaught of coastal peat, burnt rubber, smoked herbs, and seaweed, conjuring images of a windswept Scottish island. Yet amidst the smoky chaos, notes of salted caramel and toasted barley provide a delightful sweetness. The palate is a continuation of the peaty power, tempered by honeyed barley, oaky vanilla, nostalgic boiled sweets, and toffee. The finish lingers with smoke and salted caramel, reminding you of the whisky's bold character. Crafted by blending older malts with boisterous young smoke monsters like Bunnahabhain Moine and the heaviest peated malt in Black Bottle's reserves, and further enhanced with grain whisky aged in heavily-peated casks, this dram is a true celebration of smoke.
