Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with a warm copper-gold sheen and a hint of mahogany at the rim; a luminous, honeyed glow that speaks of age and cask maturity.
Nose
Peat smoke folds with briny sea air, while rich sherry notes impart dark fruit—raisin and fig—alongside cocoa, toasted almond, and a touch of orange zest. Subtle leather echoes the old cask, all carried on a clean mineral, saline finish.
Palate
Soft peat and maritime brine envelop the palate, with a gentle sweetness from sherry-led maturation. Dark fruits, cocoa, and toasted almond unfold, framed by notes of spice and oak. The finish is long and warming, echoing peat smoke, salt air, and a hint of lingering sherry sweetness.
Finish
Smoked peat lingers with a maritime edge—briny sea spray and iodine giving way to a warm caramel sweetness. A spicy, drying finish fades into seasoned oak and a lasting, whispering peat smoke.
