Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep amber gold; rich colour from PX and Oloroso sherry butts
Nose
Dark fruit sweetness from PX casks — raisins, dates, and dark chocolate. Classic Caol Ila peat and pepper spice underneath. Rich and complex
Palate
Delightful sweet and fruit notes complementing peat and peppery spice. Dark dried fruit, chocolate, and treacle from sherry influence. Full-bodied at cask strength with intense flavour layering
Finish
Long, rich finish with lingering dark fruit, sherry sweetness, and persistent peat smoke. Spicy and warming with a gentle drying quality
