Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with warm copper-gold highlights and a mahogany edge.
Nose
Peat smoke and salt air mingle with sherry sweetness. Dried fruits—raisin, fig, prune—layer over toasted oak, while cinnamon and clove heighten the spice. A maritime iodine note threads through, keeping the aroma bright and smoky, with a hint of chocolate depth beneath.
Palate
Intense, oily mouthfeel carries a surge of peat smoke and maritime brine, tempered by rich sherry-soaked fruit: dried figs, raisins, a touch of orange zest. Spices emerge—cinnamon, clove—alongside dark chocolate and toasted oak. The high ABV lends a warm, persistent echo across the palate, finishing with lingering smoke, resinous sweetness, and a peppery bite.
Finish
Long, warming finish of peat smoke and maritime notes, slowly fading into lush sherried fruit—raisin, fig, prune—with dark spice and oak. A final wave of peppery warmth from the high ABV lingers, leaving a persistent coastal complexity.
