Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep golden amber with prominent legs, suggesting robust character and cask influence.
Nose
Prominent peat smoke dominates the nose with charred wood and ash notes. Beneath lies maritime brine, damp seaweed, and subtle floral honey creating complexity. A slight iodine note adds coastal authenticity.
Palate
Smoke-forward entry with bold peat character balanced by underlying sweetness. The palate shows maritime minerals, dark chocolate, and dried fruit beneath the dominant smoke. Warming spices build in intensity.
Finish
Long, smoky finish with lingering peat, charred oak, and persistent maritime salinity. The smoke gradually fades to reveal hints of honey and subtle sweetness.
