Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with burnished gold highlights.
Nose
Powerful peat smoke dominates the nose, entwined with medicinal iodine and sea-salt brine. Beneath, vanilla and caramel mingle with charred oak, while citrus zest adds brightness and a touch of cocoa lingers in the background.
Palate
Powerful peat and medicinal iodine greet the palate, with coastal salt and peppery spice. At cask-strength warmth, vanilla and oak sweetness emerge, lightly framed by sherry richness. An oil-rich mouthfeel leads to a long, smoky finish, unveiling mineral seaside notes and a lingering savoury warmth.
Finish
An unwavering, long finish of peat’s power, with medicinal iodine, sea-salt brine and ash lingering like coastal fog. Subtle sweetness from sherry oak threads through the smoke, yielding warming spice and charred barley, before fading to a mineral, maritime reverberation.
