St. George's Founder's Private Cellar Peated Sauternes Cask 0787

Uh-oh. If I see the word “peated” with a sweet wine I get nervous. As a mix this is an accident waiting to happen; a great acrobatic trick that probably won't work. Two points here: one the distillery is defining its citrusy and gritty DNA despite the diversity of releases. Two this also pulls its punches…but it works. Yes it's very sweet and liqueury and yes there's peat — quite industrial here — but they stand on opposite sides of the dance floor and don't fight. £148
