Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery sheen and a touch of mahogany, a wine-warmed, garnet-tinted glow.

Nose

Peat smoke and seaside brine rise first, tempered by bracken and ash. A Margaux finish lends a wine-fresh lift with ripe red fruit—blackcurrant, cherry, plum—softly wrapped in velvety oak. Cocoa, vanilla, and a trace of leather emerge as the aroma settles, with refined spice and a whisper of tobacco. Elegant, coastal, and quietly opulent, the aroma lingers with a bright, resinous edge.

Palate

Smoked peat and sea-brine frame a bold, warming palate as Margaux’s red-fruit notes—blackcurrant, cherry and plum—lend a silky wine-softness. Vanilla, cocoa and oak mingle with pepper, while wine-cask tannins give gentle structure. Velvety yet tensile, it finishes long with tobacco, espresso and coastal brine, carried by the whisky’s confident, integrated warmth.

Finish

Long, refined finish that lingers with peat smoke and maritime brine, then unfolds into Bordeaux finesse from the Margaux cask. Ripe red fruits—cherry, blackberry, plum—meet vanilla, cedar and spice, while restrained tannins frame the palate. Cocoa whispers as a final, smoke-dusted sweetness fades, leaving a warm, contemplative glow that invites the next sip.
