Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Rich golden amber; medium-full body with warm Cognac-cask tones
Nose
Rich and sweet fruit — apples, apricots, plums — with barley sugar and lemon honey. Less peat than expected but present and ashy and oily. Healthy dose of brine and sea air with herbal and vegetal notes
Palate
Considerably more peat on palate than nose. Sweet candied peels at tip of tongue with continued salinity providing a very fresh arrival. Bold and complex
Finish
Floral heather honey, zesty lemon, and nutty smoothness settle with the peat smoke that is always last to leave. Medium-long and graceful
