Description

This is Whisky Sponge Equilibrium III, a 22 Year old, multi-vintage single malt designed to showcase a balanced sherry and peat malt whisky profile. For this final bottling in the Equilibrium series, it was crafted from a refill-matured 1997 vintage whisky and sherry-finished 2000 vintage whisky that were married together in a 2nd fill sherry hogshead. The result is the softest of the three Equilibrium bottlings in terms of peat level, and probably the richest in terms of sherry character.

Nose
very richly sherried, with sweet, old school cream sherry notes, infused with pipe and cigar tobacco, rancio, dry earthy notes and a wonderfully dry, herbal and peppery background peat smoke. The peat makes the sherry more gentle and the net effect is a rich, dry, aromatically peaty and sherried old style malt that noses older than it is.
Palate
the peat starts to dominate more assertively but it is still well matched by the richness of the sherry, which comes across with more raisiny sweetness now. More dark fruits, treacle, chewing tobacco and something like smoked rancio!
Finish
very long, thick, tarry, more drying and herbaceous peat, cured meats and medicines.
