Westland Peated American Single Malt

This young peated malt aged at least 24 months has a nice dry peat smoke nose backed by honey and oak. On the palate it’s disjointed: the young peat malt argues with the heavy char barrel a struggle that needs more time to be worked out. Honeyed malt tries to lend support but everything topples in the mid-palate where things turn dry spicy and slightly acidic. A medium finish wraps up a whiskey that simply needs more time.
