Cooley 1999
(53,3%, Thosop 2012, 179 btl.)

Nose: nice Brora-esk nose with medium peat and quite a lot of candle wax. Not unlike the several casks bottled by Cadenhead.
Gorgeous farmy notes too: a little wet wool and a goat stable with not so fresh hay. Quite some sweetness to balance it out.
There?s pink grapefruit, tangerine and melon. Settles on mint and eucalyptus. A very enjoyable mix. Mouth: tobacco notes, herbs,
cardamom, soft smoke, oak, grapefruit again, ginger? Some salted liquorice in the end. Excellent balance. Finish: medium long,
with herbs and tobacco lasting until the end.

Love it. We already knew peated Cooley can be great at a medium age and with medium peat. Around ? 80, that?s pretty much a steal.

Score: 90/100
