Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with mahogany undertones and a burnished, sherry-kissed glow.
Nose
Thick peat smoke dominates the glass, a bold Islay signature. Beneath it, a creamier sweetness emerges—vanilla custard and soft toasted oak—brightened by subtle fruity notes and a whisper of sherry influence. The aroma is smoky, inviting, and richly layered.
Palate
Oil-drenched and full-bodied, the palate is a peat bomb balanced by rich sherry sweetness. Dense smoke coats the mouth with a waxy custard-vanilla core, while barbecued banana, sultanas and dried fruits linger in syrupy intensity. The finish returns with spicy peat, Spanish sherry oak, and a saline, sweet ember that invites another sip.
Finish
Peat reasserts itself in a long, smoky finish, threaded with rich Spanish sherry oak that lingers with sweetness. A final sharp, saline snap cuts through, delivering a bold, unmistakable Smokehead finish that stays like ember on the palate.
