Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and a warm, chestnut glow.
Nose
Herbaceous and resinous on the nose, with seaweed and briny notes lifted by citrus zest and pinewood. A coastal, brisk aroma hinting at Islay’s maritime character.
Palate
On the palate, gentle smoke and salinity lead, supported by resinous pinewood notes and a soft warmth from the mixed cask maturation. A coastal brine lingers, delivering a clean, sea-kissed finish.
Finish
Long, maritime finish: coastal smoke and briny salinity linger, threaded with resinous pine and citrus zest. A whisper of PX sweetness surfaces, then peat and oak spice drift away in a clean, warming afterglow.
