Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Golden amber; deeper colour than the NAS from longer maturation, medium legs
Nose
More developed than the NAS — peat smoke has integrated with oak sweetness. Honey, toffee, dried heather, vanilla, and stewed apple. Gentle spice from 12 years of bourbon barrel maturation
Palate
Medium-full bodied. The peat has mellowed and integrated beautifully — sweet smoke wraps around toffee, stewed apple, honey, and gentle oak spice. More complex and rounded than the NAS, with dried fruit emerging. The additional age adds depth without losing the distinctive Irish-peat character
Finish
Medium-long finish. Sweet smoke persists alongside toffee, apple, and gentle oak. More satisfying than the NAS with better integration and length. Warm and comforting
