"Peat, citrus fruit and char on the nose. Reminiscent of a barbecue by the sea with smoldering wood chip notes. Leather, wood smoke, ginger and savoury meat flavours."
93 points in Jim Murray's whisky bible 2017
Ferocious Alligator charring of new American white oak casks has created a spicy, dark dram of hidden depths, within which lurk deep tarry coffee, barbecue sizzle and sooty aromas.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, molten amber with copper glints and a kiss of mahogany, a rich sunlit bronze that glows with smoky depth.
Nose
Peat, citrus and char lead the aroma, like a seaside barbecue with smoldering wood chips. Leather and wood smoke mingle with ginger and a touch of savoury meat. Beneath, tarry coffee and sooty, smoky undertones deepen the scent, as embers glow in a spice-laden breeze.
Palate
Bold and waxy on the palate, a charred, peat-kissed profile. Deep tarry coffee meets leather and wood smoke, with ginger warmth and savoury meat notes riding a seaside barbecue tangent. A long, smoky finish coats the mouth with ash, spice and warm maturity.
Finish
Long, charcoal-drenched and smoky, with tarry coffee and sooty barbecue notes lingering on the tongue. Leather and wood smoke fade into charred oak, leaving a spicy, seafront warmth that persists into a savoury, lingering finish.
