Macaloney's Signature Selection Siol Dugall Canadian Island Peated Single Malt (Batch 2), 46%

Price: 82 Issue: Fall 2024 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Canadian

Delightful tendrils of sweet peat waft from the glass, with vanilla bean, campfire coals, burnt marshmallow, and a hint of fresh guava taking center stage. Similarly soft and sweet flavors arise on the palate, which is light on its feet; eventually, a well-balanced mix of peppery spice, chocolate, and ashy charcoal emerges. The finish marks a turn toward even more peated earthiness, though lovely notes of lemon cake and pepper remain.
