Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Golden bronze with slight haze indicating natural cask strength character
Nose
Restrained peat smoke intertwined with coastal brine and seaweed notes. Underneath lies orchard fruit and subtle heathery floral notes with creeping medicinal warmth.
Palate
Smoky yet balanced with gentle smoke that doesn't overwhelm fruit character. Saline minerality meets stone fruit sweetness, with a peppery spice kick and creamy texture.
Finish
Persistent smoky finish with lingering salt spray, gentle sweetness, and warming peat that extends gracefully.
