Undisclosed Islay The Big Smoke Cask Strength Whisky

Colour

Deep copper-amber with mahogany undertones and a warm, resinous glow.

Nose

Towering peat smoke dominates, like a coastal bonfire, mingling with briny iodine and toasted barley. Rich sherry sweetness blooms - prune, fig, dark chocolate - wrapped in vanilla and leather from full-bodied oak. A salty, maritime edge lingers, inviting another inhale.

Palate

Full-bodied and viscous, the Big Smoke coats the palate with mighty peat and a waxy texture. Rich sherry influence bathes dark fruit—fig, raisin, plum—with burnt sugar, cocoa, and espresso. A saline, iodine core keeps it brisk, while toasted oak and almond add depth. The cask-strength heat sharpens peppery spice as the finish lengthens, smoke lingering with chocolate and sea salt.

Finish

Bold, enduring finish of peat smoke and sea spray, tapering into rich sherry-dark fruit, cocoa and spice. A warm, peppery fade sits on charred oak, leaving a lingering, coastal sweetness.
