Tasting Notes
Nose
Thick, velvety smoke envelops oak, releasing intense cask sweetness—vanilla and cinder-toffee—while peat and earthy undertones creep through. A vegetal, Islay smoke lingers, glossy and resinous, inviting another inhale.
Palate
Soft on the palate- no aggression, nutty, fudge, nougat, delicate coconut and rose petal floral.
Finish
Long peat finish, hints of treacle, warm sand/salt.
