Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished amber with coppery highlights and a hint of mahogany, a warm, sherried glow.
Nose
Smothered in peat smoke and coal, the nose bursts with earthy, leathery, ashy charm. A warming sweetness lingers, balancing the intensity and previewing the festive spirit of this Christmas release.
Palate
Coated in dense peat smoke and coal, it delivers earthy, leathery depth with an inviting ashy edge. Resinous peat and charred fruitwood mingle with a touch of saline, while a warming sweetness—toffee, honey, dark fruit—emerges gently. Spices curl through the mid-palate, leading to a long, ember-dusted finish that lingers with coastal warmth.
Finish
A long, smoky finish clings with ashy coal and earthy-leathery notes, carried by a maritime, briny edge, then slowly yields to a warming sweetness that lingers on the palate.
