Tasting

How it drinks

Fresh fruit mingling with dry peat smoke. Cloves, ginger, cassia, chocolate, toasted malt with toffee and brown sugar. Melon, citrus, dried plums, raisin, and earthy peat smoke with marine ozone notes
Palate
Sweetness from oak and malt leads, followed by smoke, citrus, and dried fruit. Marzipan, spice, caramel, and chocolate emerge alongside earthy peat smoke
Finish
Medicinal phenol-style peat smoke on the finish. Coconut and floral notes waver, saline marine element combines with earthy smoke in classic Port Charlotte style
