Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with warm golden highlights and a bronze glow.
Nose
Powerful peat smoke anchors the nose, lush and medicinal, like a coastal bonfire at dawn. Iodine and sea-brine mingle with resinous peat, while vanilla, toffee and a whisper of cocoa hint sweetness. Subtle dried fruit and spice rise through the oak, giving depth. At cask strength, the bouquet feels radiant and unguarded—smoky, mineral, expansive, with sherry warmth lingering.
Palate
Powerful peat and maritime smoke saturate the palate, with iodine and medicinal bite brushing against black pepper and ash. Rich sherry-cask depth delivers espresso, dark chocolate and dried fruit, while vanilla and spice thread through the profile. The cask-strength warmth coats the tongue, finishing long, smoky, and elegantly sweet.
Finish
Long, fiercely peat-forward finish with maritime iodine and charred oak, slowly giving way to vanilla sweetness, spice and a whisper of dark chocolate. The warmth lingers like embers, leaving a smoky, ash-dusted encore.
