Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep amber with mahogany depth; extraordinarily rich and viscous from 40 years of maturation, very slow heavy legs
Nose
Warm and inviting oak with soft hint of sea salt. Old books, chocolate-covered cherries, burnt orange, and walnut wood. Honeyed pomelo and ripe stone fruit. The 40-year peat has transformed into something spiritual and barely perceptible — more incense than smoke
Palate
Luscious orchard fruits — silky morello cherry, soft nectarine, stewed red apple, and white peach. The peat at 40 years has evolved into an ethereal warmth rather than discernible smoke. Extraordinary complexity and silkiness. The oldest peated malt ever released from a Speyside distillery
Finish
Very long, velvety finish with walnut, kumquat, and lingering stone fruit. Old leather, polished wood, and a whisper of ancient peat. Magnificent and haunting — a once-in-a-lifetime expression
