Tasting Notes
Nose
Like sea mist over a barrelhouse, the nose blends smoky barley with briny maritime lift. Vanilla from on-site new-oak barrels, toasted almond and caramel weave through roasted malt, with citrus zest and a whisper of spice; delicate peat and iodine braid into the finish, inviting another inhale.
Palate
Bold and full-bodied on the palate, with smoky malt, briny sea-salt and an assertive oak backbone from on-site new oak casks. Notes of dark chocolate, dried fruit and spice weave through vanilla and toffee, finishing long with peppery warmth and a maritime, mineral lift.
