Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Pale amber with a greenish tint, natural color indicating non-chill filtration.
Nose
Robust peat smoke dominates with earthy undertones and iodine notes. Behind the smoke lies sweet vanilla and subtle citrus, with a hint of seaweed and coastal brine.
Palate
Full-bodied with intense peat and smoke on the palate. Layered flavors reveal smoked grain, white pepper, and a surprising sweetness from vanilla and honey. The high ABV adds warmth and complexity.
Finish
Long, smoky finish with lingering peat char, white pepper, and a dry, mineral edge. Fades slowly with persistent smoke and subtle sweetness.
