Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, dark amber with luminous coppery highlights and a mahogany-tinged glow.
Nose
Peat smoke threads through a maritime, sherry-soaked sweetness. Dark fruit—figs and raisins—dances with burnt sugar, toasted almond and cocoa. Salted caramel undercurrent, iodine and sea air mingle with vanilla-oak spice. The aroma is bold, elegant, and distinctly Islay: smoky, refined, with a sensuous sherry lift.
Palate
Oil-dark and mouth-coating, the palate opens with bold peat smoke woven through rich sherry fruit—prune, fig and cocoa—tempered by almond sweetness and a touch of salted caramel. Spices rise in concert: cinnamon, clove and black pepper, with a mineral coastal edge. A long, warming finish lingers, peat and cocoa tempered by saline notes.
Finish
Long, maritime peat carries a sherry-tinged sweetness to the finish: dark fig and raisin, cocoa nibs, orange zest, and toasted almond. Warming spice deepens as the smoke slowly fades, leaving a refined, salty oak echo.
