This bottle seems to get more flavourful with air. Taken in a line-up of quality peated drams, Prophecy looks like a weak sister, but by itself it is nice enough and certainly has its good points.

The toffee/caramel element is a relative detriment to the overall tasteįinish: fades a bit at first, then goes relatively long, ending on a balance of sweet and bitterīalance: this is a malt to which I was really looking forward. This is not bad flavour here, but, as with the nose, something just tastes artificial. Taste: the nose flavours are translated to the palate, with additional sweetness, and more pointedness to the peat flavours than in the nose. Taken on a clean palate this is a nice nose, but it still has markers which suggest artificial doctoring, eg via the addition of caramel, which is most definitely tastable I notice strongly that this malt noses much better when not in a long line of strong drinks. I smell toffee/caramel, malt, yes, a bit of cinnamon, and some background briney/medicinal "spray". Nose: "heavily peated" here translates to moderately peated, by next-island-down-Islay standards. The bottle label states, "Limited Annual Release Year I", which I believe was 2009 I do not know how long this bottle has been open. Many thanks to WhiskyJoe for giving me the last 1/3 of this reviewed bottle. Are those literal additives? I do not know, but I suppose that they must be.
