Gal Granov (87)

Colour: beautiful sanguine copper

Nose: wine notes , some red fruit and Peaty sweetness. Condensed milk and some fruit salad. Wee smoke, and the signature ‘Laddie’ DNA is there. Think of Octomore 2.2, but a lot weaker and and not as aggressive.


Palate: Sherry. Spice. Chilly. Burnt sugar. rather Winey. Big and Powerful delivery. Peat and sherry nicely combined. Some hints of tropical fruit (papaya) , but dominated by the Chilly.

Finish: Long,Spicy, continuing on the chilly theme.

Bottom line : The nose is very pleasant for me, as i am a ‘Laddie’ nose lover (if such a thing exists). I really find it more and more that i dig the peated laddie nose. The palate is also interesting, although not as striking as the Gaja Barolo, and the chilly spiciness is nice, but i am not sure i like that much chilly in my finish and palate.

All in all it’s a nice dram, but i do prefer the Non wine finished 3D3 if we’re talking vatting wizardry (remember, 3 warehouses, 3 distilleries, 3 peating levels – 3D3).And if i am in a wine mood, the Octomore 2.2 will deliver both the sweet wine notes, and those BIG peaty notes we’re looking for.
