This Clinelish 16 year old is from Berry Bros and Rudd with the Cask No. 8783 and has 57.1% vol.
Color is dark amber. The nose is dried plums with hints of almond and herbal perfume, perhaps also peperoni with soj-sauce.
The palate is rather sweet and the finish is again plums. It lasts quite long on the tounge but rather short in the throat.
With half a teaspoon water the nose is more herbal, cranberry and oak influenced malt. The palate turns a little bit bitter and the finish gets better viscosity with hints of curry.

The peat level mentioned on the bottle is 40 ppm. No artificial color is added as well it has been non-chill filtered
Lets start this tasting tripple with the lowest abv and the oldest age, as this is commonly best advice to do.
I feel since days the first time a clean nose all day.

Nose: Immediately a little peat, to to heavy just. It has the smell of a old wooden chest used on a pirate ship.
Palate: Sweet on the tongue and a punch of alcohol
Finish: There is a lot peat coming back, peatlovers would say, yes quite easy.

With a teaspoon of water added
Nose: A teanote is comming up, somewhat fresh herbal notes are there, not much peat anymore
Palate: Down to earth with sweet lingering notes
Finish: The wood is a little there, peat has quite gone.

A very nice balanced peated Whisky

Why not trying a non age statement as peated whiskys do not need long aging. The barley comes from scottland.

Nose: Easy peat, nearly non existent, very fruity, has a lot of original smell of new make. Perhaps a smell of soap perfume
Palate: Sweet in the mouth and strong.
Finish: Is fast, clean and does not leave a lot behind.

With a teaspoon of water
Nose: Not big change but less of all
Palate: A little easier, but also here no big change
Finish: A little more. For one who wants to begin with peat that is an entry point.
