Jean-Marie Putz

The nose is rather discrete for the few first minutes, but when it reveals all its potential, it's very great, very complex, very smooth and very delicate. No heavy peat like in other bottlings fo this distillery. Just a delicacy. Chocolate, or even more likely, cocoa, a touch fo citrus fruit. A discrete peat hint, a remarkable balance.
In the palate, the same impressions as at nosing, with a nice development then on peat then on smoke, with a light touch of citrus sometimes.
The lingering finish is very pleasant, and here again peat and smoke appear randomly.

A nicely balanced peaty nose with clear marine notes, sea spray and salt. Discrete fruity notes appear after a while and then develop on marzipan, nougat and even chocolate.
In the palate, the same nicely balanced peaty impression. But not trace of fruits nor marzipan. A nice example of peat which is sufficient in itself.
The finish is lingering and pleasant and here too the discrete fruity notes reappear behind a nice peat. Nice because discrete.

An unusual delicate nose, maritime, salty with a touch of peat on the background, developing delicate hints of malted barley and smells close to Marshmallow. No aggressiveness at all.
A nice complex palate, sugared and salted at the time, with discrete hints of citrus fruit on a background of peat and seaweed, exhaling some woody hints, the whole being superbly balanced.
A lingering finish, marked by some remote hints of dry peat, memories of citrus and woody touches (or walnut ones). A remarkable bottle, which however contrasts with many other products of the same distillery. Such a delicacy and sweetness. No smoky and heavily peaty attacks like other bottlings.
