A fiercly rampant Lagavulin that has great intensity of sweetness, saltiness, and perfumed oak spice. This pungent and oily whisky is boldly maritime in character with abundant aromas and flavours of fresh sea spray and dried seaweed. A dense fog from smouldering peat and charcoal embers envelops the palate on the finish.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights, a rich, sun-kissed hue that glows with maritime warmth.
Nose
Aromas of briny sea spray and dried seaweed mingle with lush peat smoke. Sweet, salty notes unfold alongside perfumed oak spice, while an oily, maritime core hints at charred embers and charcoal. Bold, coastal, and heady, the aroma commands the senses with maritime intensity and refined spice.
Palate
Dense, oily mouthfeel with a fierce, sweet-salty profile and perfumed oak spice. Waves of maritime peat, sea spray and dried seaweed coat the palate, leaving a long, ember-dusted finish as the smoke lingers.
Finish
An enduring maritime finish where oily peat coats the palate as salt-laden sea spray and dried seaweed linger. A smoky, ember-dusted fog swirls through the finish, carrying perfumed oak spice and leaving a long, warming saline note that slowly fades.
