Tasting Notes

Nose

Peat smoke dominates, edged with medicinal iodine and sea-salt aroma, evoking a windswept Islay shoreline. Woven in are waxy candle-soot, leather, and dried fruit, with toasted oak and a whisper of sherry sweetness giving depth. The nose promises a measured, regal complexity that lingers long on the senses.
