Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep coppery amber with ruby-hued edges and a mahogany-tinged core.
Nose
Bold peat smoke dominates, carried on a tang of sea air, brine and iodine. Layered beneath, sherry-tinged sweetness reveals dried dark fruit, cocoa, and burnt sugar, with hints of vanilla and toasted oak. A maritime, vigorous aroma that hints at the drama to come on the palate.
Palate
Powerful peat and coastal brine sweep across the tongue, with sherry-dark fruit—prune, fig and cherry—woven through cocoa and spice. A full, velvety mouthfeel carries the smoke toward a long, warming finish of ember and iodine.
Finish
Long, warming finish of coastal peat, slowly dissolving into rich sherry sweetness, with dried fruit, dark chocolate and a touch of sea salt. The smoke lingers like a trailing ember, leaving a suave, nutty warmth.
