Tasting Notes
Imagine being enveloped in a cozy embrace of peat smoke, like a warm blanket fresh from the fireside. That's the essence of High Coast Timmer - Peat Smoke, a Swedish single malt whisky that invites you on a delightful journey through the realm of smoky indulgence. As you pour this amber elixir, aromas of grassy, creamy malt intermingle with tropical fruit, citrus zest, and crumbly vanilla biscuits, creating a tantalizing prelude to the main event. Upon tasting, a generous burst of warming smoke greets your palate, followed by a harmonious chorus of smoked bacon, dried apricot, milky coffee, and buttery fudge. Crystallized ginger adds a playful bite, while boiled sweets and oak char linger in the background. The finish is a lingering embrace of burnt buttered toast and sweet toffee, with a hint of drying oak, leaving you longing for more. Aged in first-fill bourbon barrels for around six years, this whisky is a testament to the artistry of Sweden's High Coast distillery, capturing the essence of peat smoke with remarkable finesse.
