Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with burnished bronze and mahogany undertones, a warm, sunlit glow.
Nose
Intense peat smoke swirls with coastal iodine and sea-salt air, while rich sherry and dried fruit mingle with cacao and vanilla. Tarry, medicinal notes linger, framed by toasted oak and delicate spice, inviting a slow, aromatic pull of smoky sweetness.
Palate
Velvety peat smoke envelops the palate, with coastal brine and medicinal resin tempered by rich sherry sweetness. Dark chocolate, espresso and dried fruit unfold alongside orange zest and leather. A drying, peppery finish reveals tobacco, ash and sea-salt notes, long, refined and deeply satisfying.
Finish
Long, medicinal peat and sea-salt crown the finish, slowly yielding to sherry-soaked warmth. Dark chocolate and dried fruit mingle with orange zest, then a spicy, resinous tail coats the palate, with gentle ash and coastal tang lingering well after the last sip.
