As this ale is poured, the characteristic peated aroma of the Islay whisky can be detected from a distance. This rough smoked and roasted peat aroma thus largely determines the aroma profile of this ale. The abundantly present oak comes across prominently with the alcohol. A vanilla aroma is apparent. The ale aroma is only present in the background.

The roasted turf aromas are also evident in the flavour. The bitterness of the oak barrels and the sweetness of the Quadrupel result in a rounded and heavy whisky-style flavour. The aftertaste is dominated by the wood tannins and the smoked flavour remains in the mouth and throat.

This batch 28 is recommended for the real (Islay) whisky lover. Anyone looking for a full and strong ale flavour and who loves a smoked and roasted aroma will definitely appreciate this batch. Show Less
