Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Pale straw gold with warm tones; surprisingly light for the world's most peated expression at 214.2 ppm
Nose
Enormous peat presence yet hauntingly elegant — smoked honey, Islay farm barley terroir, dried wildflowers, lemon verbena, bonfire on a beach, kelp, iodine. Amarone influence adds dried cherry and dark grape underneath. Salt-crusted earth
Palate
Extraordinary — massive peat that somehow remains sweet and balanced. Smoked honey, lemon curd, dried cherry from Amarone, barley sugar, maritime minerality. Islay barley terroir gives a distinctive earthy, agricultural character absent in mainland barley. Creamy mouthfeel with waves of sweet smoke
Finish
Immense length — peat smoke slowly evolves through sweet, salty, earthy, and finally deeply mineral phases. Islay barley character and Amarone dried fruit linger alongside the smoke for many minutes. Beach bonfire fading to embers
