Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Rich warm amber with honeyed-gold depth; presented in distinctive ceramic heart-shaped decanter
Nose
Rich heather honey, aromatic peat smoke, and dark fruit. Orange peel, vanilla, and warm malt. Floral heather notes are particularly pronounced — sitting between the 12yo's brightness and the 18yo's depth. Gentle sherry influence with toffee, cinnamon, and a whisper of maritime salt
Palate
Medium-full body. Rich heather honey, aromatic peat smoke, and dried fruit (raisin, fig, date). Dark chocolate, orange marmalade, and warm oak spice. The 15yo occupies a sweet spot in the range — more developed than the 12yo with richer fruit and smoke, but retaining vibrancy before the 18yo's full maturity. Cinnamon, vanilla, and gentle leather. Smooth, rounded mouthfeel
Finish
Medium-long finish. Heather honey and aromatic peat smoke linger together, evolving through dried fruit, dark chocolate, and warm oak. A satisfying middle-ground expression in the core range age ladder
