Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Light gold; clean and bright with moderate legs
Nose
Very rich smoke with fragrant vanilla and light citrus zest. Hints of apple develop with white chocolate. Sweet, campfire-forward peat rather than medicinal
Palate
Smooth with toasted oak, honey and sweet ripe fruit. Butterscotch and marshmallow lead to lemon sherbet, all alongside sweet smoke. Mouth-coating sweetness with bonfire warmth. Far more heavily peated than the core range — 57 ppm vs 12 ppm
Finish
Medium-long finish of mouth-coating sweetness and bonfire embers. The peat lingers as sweet, campfire smoke rather than medicinal. Vanilla afterglow
