Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Pale gold with straw highlights; lighter than Edradour unpeated, clear and bright
Nose
Peat smoke upfront — campfire, barbecue, smoked meat — quickly joined by sweet malt, honey, vanilla, orchard fruit. Peat is muscular (50ppm) but Highland spirit sweetness balances. Hints of iodine and seaweed suggest more coastal character than expected
Palate
Medium-full body. Smoky and sweet — campfire smoke, barbecued meat, honey, vanilla, apple, maritime salinity. Peat is powerful but never acrid. Underlying toffee and malt sweetness prevents monolithic smoke. Unique Highland peated character distinct from Islay
Finish
Long smoky finish. Peat smoke, barbecue, and ash linger. Honey and vanilla cream provide sweet counterpoint. Warming rather than medicinal. Clean peat smoke fades slowly
