The new bottling of the famous Beathan (a peated single malt from a distillery in the Southern Highlands) follows the trend of previous ones. it was distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2018. Outturn of 1200 bottles.
The use of continental peat results in the complete absence of the maritime aromas of the peated whiskies of the islands, making Beathan quite unique in its style but just as robust and intense as the heaviest malts of the islands.
Nose: Fresh, sweet fruitiness of lemon zest and white grape, exotic (pink grapefruit and ripe mango). A particularly spicy, woody note hovers above. A drop of water dries out these aromas and introduces a pinch of white pepper.
Taste: Creamy, full texture with a sweet flavor. Fruity and malty behind that homemade rum caramel, exotic notes of spicy pineapple and green banana, made even more palatable by spicy, dry oak.
Nose: Glenmorangie Cavaldos Finish reveals sweet aromas of caramelized apples, vanilla and dried fruit. Feel: On the palate, this whisky reveals notes of ripe apples, pears, toffee and cinnamon, with a touch of nutmeg. Finish: The finish is long and spicy, marked by subtle notes of oak and red fruit.
Nose: Enchanting aromas of dried fruit, chocolate and vanilla. Mouth: An explosion of fruity flavors, caramel and warm spices. Finish: A long, smooth finish, leaving delicate notes of oak and ripe fruit on the palate.
