How it drinks

Sight
Rich golden amber with warm mahogany tones.
Nose
Potent and complex with toasted oak, vanilla, light smoke, and hints of dried fruit. Spiced oak and heather become apparent with time in glass.
Palate
Full-bodied and robust with spicy oak, caramel sweetness, and developing peat smoke. The high ABV brings out wood tannins and underlying maritime character.
Finish
Long, warming finish with persistent spice, smoke, and oak tannins lingering on the palate.
