"A gutsy yet complex nose of printer's ink, sweet peat, bonfire smoke, pine, kippers and damp tweed. With time, more buttery notes appear. Tha palate is smooth and buttery with intense fruitiness and peat, spice and rock salt. The finish is long and peaty."

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery flashes, a warm sun-bronze hue that glows in the glass, hinting at sherry maturation and peat-kissed richness.
Nose
An assertive, complex nose: printer’s ink and sweet peat mingle with bonfire smoke, pine resin and a whisper of damp tweed. A salt-kissed hint of kippers lingers beneath, while time unfolds buttery notes that deepen the peat, spice and coastal character into a luxurious, lingering aroma.
Palate
Smooth and buttery on the palate, it delivers intense fruitiness intertwined with signature peat. Spices spark warmth, while a saline rock-salt lift keeps brightness alive. Creamy, full-bodied texture coats the mouth, leading to a long, peaty finish.
Finish
Long, peaty finish that clings like embers, carrying rock-salt mineral and a faint spice that slowly fades into smoky warmth.
