Cutter
Made By Humans Not Machines
The Cutter is a hand tool used to cut peat from less wet, shallower bogs. This means the peat it reveals is drier and therefore more easily burnt producing a whisky that has a medium-heavy smokiness, in this case, with a phenol content of 20.5 ppm.
Tasting notes
A kaleidoscope of spicy and peaty notes that die out with a juicy burst and a loud call for another sip.
Colour
Cutter is pale yellow in appearance.
Nose
An initially thick and oily smoke structure reveals a sharper, more medicinal phenolic layer and a piercing burst of fruitiness.
Taste
More ashy, with a slight apple-core bitterness. Leather and spicy vanilla is there too, accompanied by pink grapefruit and ripe orchard fruits.
