Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished amber with coppery highlights and a touch of mahogany at the rim—a warm, glass-staining glow that promises richness.
Nose
Intense peat and sea-brine rise from the glass, with iodine and ash in a maritime breeze. Guinness cask lends cocoa, coffee, and toasted malt, brightened by vanilla and caramel sweetness. Subtle leather and char finish with a peppery undercurrent, evoking Islay's rugged shore.
Palate
Oily, mouth-coating palate of bold peat and sea-salt brine, intertwined with Guinness-roasted malt sweetness. Dark chocolate, espresso and caramelized sugar unfold, supported by vanilla and a whisper of iodine. The finish is persistent and smoky, echoing charred oak with maritime heat that lingers long on the palate.
Finish
Long, peat-driven finish with maritime salt and a whisper of char. The Guinness cask lends dark chocolate, roasted coffee and caramel malt, weaving through the smoke into a silky, creamy warmth. A cocoa-dusted sweetness lingers, fading to a subtly briny, savory finish with a final kiss of ash.
