Gal Granov (86)

Color: Chardonnay.

Nose: Melange of Sweet fruit under a cape of peat : Apricots, Pears and some butter. Some wood smoke, earthy peat and white pepper and smoked bacon. Not extremely peaty as the name suggests, I’ve encountered peatier malts and blended malts (Big peat for example By D.Laing). but it’s very enjoyable.

Palate: Body is quite thin, peat attack is first less noticeable, then after 2 seconds, the peat sneaks on you, and attacks with multiple ‘waves’ of peat sweetness, loads of Pepper and cinnamon all together. a very nice feeling to it.

Finish: peat smoke, cinnamon and burnt sugar with some malt.
