Tasting Notes

Nose

Intense peat smoke meets opulent sherry, with dark figs and raisins, cocoa-bittersweet caramel, and toasted almond. Leather and coastal iodine lend maritime depth, while orange zest and vanilla brighten the nose. Rich, refined, and lingering, the aroma evokes Islay at dusk—smoke, salt, and sumptuous decadence.
