Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, burnished amber with coppery highlights and mahogany undertones.
Nose
Peat smoke and iodine rise with a briny coastal lift, framed by a warm sherry glow. Raisined figs, prunes and dark chocolate mingle with toasted almond and a hint of orange zest. Rich, resinous and velvety, the high ABV coats with peppery warmth, leaving a long, smoky-dried fruit finish.
Palate
Bold and velvety on the palate, a fierce wave of peat smoke softened by luscious sherry. Dried fig, prune and dark chocolate mingle with roasted almond and a touch of orange zest. Rich, resinous oak, coffee notes, and a saline, coastal bite anchor the sweetness, delivering a long, warming finish with lingering smoke and cinnamon-spice.
Finish
Long, warming and richly sherried, the finish carries coastal peat and smoke into a cascade of dried fruit, orange zest and dark chocolate. Nutty, resinous notes linger, coating the palate with a cocoa-tinged warmth.
