Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Pale gold; bright and youthful, thin fast legs
Nose
Amplified at cask strength — bold peat smoke, lemon, vanilla, honey, fresh barley, and a maritime quality. Raw and powerful but retains the Irish-peat sweetness
Palate
Full-bodied. The cask strength amplifies everything — peat smoke, vanilla, lemon curd, honey, toasted barley, and a peppery spice. More aggressive than the standard expression but still distinctly Irish-sweet rather than Islay-medicinal. Benefits greatly from water which opens floral notes
Finish
Long finish with persistent peat smoke, vanilla, and lemon. Warming and powerful. The cask strength reveals hidden complexity — chocolate, tobacco, and leather emerge as it fades. Outstanding value
