sunbeam_atlas6 OctThe Bourbon and Bordeaux wine-cask detail is a welcome point of interest, alongside a nose of rich fruit cake and butterscotch with zesty, tarty peatiness. Sweet spice and sea salt keep the palate from reading as purely rich, while ripe berries meet Bowmore smoke on the finish. The contrast between sweet fruit, salt and peat gives it a clear shape; that long berry-and-smoke finish sounds especially appealing.
RaincheckRadio6 SeptRich fruit cake and butterscotch meet tart peat, then the palate turns sweet, spicy and lightly salty before berries and smoke carry through. At the listed SGD 293.75, it feels like a considered rather than casual pick.
