Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished copper with mahogany-amber hues and a wine-dark edge, a rich, sherry-kissed glow that speaks of decades in cask.
Nose
Creamy fudge with honey and a touch of sea salt, an inviting, softly coastal aroma.
Palate
Stewed fruit and smooth vanilla crème brûlée lay a creamy, dessert-like palate. Silky custard coats the tongue, balanced by gentle oak and a whisper of sea salt, with subtle peat that unfolds into a long, smoky, savoury finish.
Finish
An enduring, iconic smoke sets the finish, unfolding into savoury aromas of cured meat that linger with a refined peat nuance.
