Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep antique amber with rich mahogany undertones and burnished copper highlights.
Nose
Coastal peat and smoke rise alongside age-softened sweetness. Maritime brine, waxed wood and leather mingle with dried fruit and orange zest, a touch of toffee. Subtle tobacco and sherry hints glide over mineral, old-cask polish. A refined, contemplative nose that speaks of Campbeltown’s sea-battered elegance.
Palate
The palate unveils a majestic balance of peaty smoke and maritime brine, followed by a rich core of dried fruit, toffee and sherry-inflected sweetness. Dark chocolate, orange zest and waxy oak mingle with leather and spice, while subtle mint and pepper provide lift. A long, velvety finish echoes smoke, salted caramel and polished oak with enduring refinement.
Finish
Long and impeccably poised, the finish unfurls with coastal brine and a whisper of peat, giving way to dried fruits, cocoa and toasted oak. Cinnamon and nutmeg linger as a velvety, enduring warmth threads through the palate, leaving a refined, lingering fade.
