I don ' t totally understand your post but I admire your enthusiasm <| sep |> Krampus comes not to give , but to take <| sep |> Thanks to uForbiddenWaffle for the sample ! Peated to 44 ppm . Natural color and unchillfiltered . The sample has some stuff floating in it , maybe due to being not filtered ? Or maybe just broken cork ? Bottled at 46 % ABV . nbspNose Soft soothing peat smoke . Sea spray and vanilla . A bit floral as well . Its very subdued compared to the PC series of course . And very similar to the Scotish Barley offering that they now have . I wish I had that one still so I could compare them side by side . Palate Medium weight but with a nice oiliness . Sweet and sour . Like lemon cream pie . Lots of apples and pears as well . The smoke is there from the start to the finish . Always there but never over the top . Smoother than I remember the Scottish Barley being , but still very young with lots of the spirit still apparent . Finish Medium short finish . Everything fades into the sea salt and smoke . Maybe a hint of iodine as well . Score 85100 nbspI wonder where this fit into things historically ? Before the NAS Classic Laddie and Scottish Barley were their standard statements , they had the Laddie Ten and the Port Charlotte Ten . They came out with the PC series for travel retail , and this was supposed to be a companion piece to that line . So was it sold in tandem with the Port Charlotte Ten , or before that ? Whatever the case , it seems very similar to the currently available Scottish Barley . Perhaps a bit better , though the ABV is a bit less . Interesting stuff as usual , and glad I got to taste it . nbspureviewbot ' Bruichladdich '
