Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich deep amber with mahogany and copper hues, a burnished, sun-warmed glow.
Nose
Opulent sherry-driven nose of dark fruits—figs, prunes, raisins—woven with toffee, cocoa nibs and toasted almond. Orange zest, vanilla and a touch of leather add warmth, while a gentle peat smoke, sea air and iodine provide a saline backbone. A whisper of cinnamon and clove completes the aromatic profile.
Palate
Rich, full-bodied palate drenched in oloroso influence: raisin and fig with dark chocolate, orange zest and toasted almond, intertwined with Kilchoman’s coastal peat. Velvety, slightly oily texture carries warmth from 50% ABV, finishing with drying spice, a touch of saline, and lingering cocoa-tinged smoke.
Finish
An opulent, long finish where peat smoke entwines with rich oloroso sherry, releasing dried fig, date and raisin into dark chocolate, toffee and toasted almond. Cocoa nibs mingle with a gentle spice as a saline, ember-warm glow lingers, gradually retreating to a refined, velvety aftertaste that coats the palate.
