| Tasting Notes |
| Keith Wood | Glass: Spiegelau
- Colour: Rich gold / amber
- Nose: Slightly medicinal wellies (Wellington boots) in the middle of a peat bog on a damp Autumn day.
- Palate: Solid peat, almost without (wood) smoke, but offering slight hints of seaweed and a lump of Scottish jetty.
- With 3 drops of water: Some of that missing smoke is suddenly released.
- Finish: Very long
- Overall Impression and author's note: My first Superstition and it certainly won't be my last. I like this, it has good, solid peat. |
