Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and a touch of mahogany, a warm, inviting glow.
Nose
Coastal peat and iodine mingle with a bright sea-salt freshness, then deepen into sherried fruit and spice. Dark raisin, fig and caramelized orange peel rise beside toasted almond, vanilla and cocoa. Subtle waxy peat, charcoal and briny undertones linger, delivering a polished, maritime smoke that hints at Islay elegance and restraint.
Palate
Powerful and silky, the palate fuses thick sherry sweetness with Caol Ila’s coastal peat. Raisin and fig mingle with dark chocolate, espresso and spice, wrapped in briny sea-salt and smoky tar. The 59.8% ABV coats the tongue with a lush, velvety warmth, finishing long with peat, cocoa, and saline hints.
Finish
Long, warming finish where coastal peat folds into rich sherry sweetness. Smoke lingers with dark fig, cocoa and orange zest, tempered by a sea-salt edge. Velvety warmth persists, leaving a final kiss of spice and a lingering Islay glow.
