Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with mahogany undertones, a warm, sunlit chestnut glow that speaks of sherry richness.
Nose
Aromas unfold with refined tobacco and heather, sharpened by beeswax and a subtle woodiness. First-fill Pedro Ximénez Sherry cask influence brings a rich sweetness—raisin, fig, cocoa—interwoven with vanilla and Oloroso nuttiness, yielding a luxurious waxy, layered bouquet.
Palate
Islay peat and smoke cradle a core of tobacco, heather and beeswax, then yield to a lush Pedro Ximénez finish. Dark fruit—fig and raisin—mingle with cocoa and leather, all wrapped in velvety oak. Maritime warmth and a long, refined finish linger with dignified depth.
Finish
Long, velvet finish with sun-dried fig and dark raisin sweetness from the first-fill Pedro Ximénez, mingling with tobacco, heather and beeswax. Oak adds warmth while a gentle peat kiss lingers, leaving a refined, honeyed smoke and spice that fades slowly.
