Really looking forward to that. Usually I'm not a fan of cask finishes but the Benriach folks are very good at it.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-43460499215543317002017-05-12T15:28:40.475-04:002017-05-12T15:28:40.475-04:00Mr.K. the Solstice is indeed an outlier for a peat...Mr.K. the Solstice is indeed an outlier for a peated port cask-finished whisky. It's zesty and the phenolic wallop is well integrated. 50% abv but damn smooth at that strength, it's a rarity and also very dangerous. If you enjoyed that one I recommend you seek out the 18yr old Albariza, it's another stellar release, it's a peated PX finish...I know, I know but it's so good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
