Wemyss Vintage Malts 'The Peat Chimney,' 8 year old, 40%

Price: 40.00 Issue: Summer 2009 Reviewer: John Hansell Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Aggressive earthy smoke, tar, fiery pepper, bath soap, and ginger tamed by toffee and ripe malt. Lingering smoldering peat, anise, and tobacco. For those who like smoky whiskies young, aggressive, and unabashed.
