Two Stacks Polaris 3.1 Peated Single Malt
From the stellar Polaris series by Two Stacks comes this Single Malt finished for 14 months in Cabernet Franc Ice Wine casks. Bottled at 58% ABV, this release is a testament to their craftsmanship. Peat smoke comes through exponentially, and keeps on going. Other notes like the clove and peppermint feature but the smoke is the star. Not overwhelming, it’s finely balanced with sweetness too. Smokey apple Astro belts, fizzy cherries and red cream soda. There’s spicy redcurrant jam too with a dash of vanilla cream.
