Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Golden straw with pale amber highlights; light colour from refill casks
Nose
Gentle smoke meets tropical fruit — light peat influence, vanilla, honey, mango, light campfire. Not a peated whisky — cask-derived smokiness is delicate and complementary. Interesting bridge for peat-curious drinkers
Palate
Light to medium body. Gentle smoke character, vanilla, tropical fruit, honey. Light campfire, mango, pear, gentle spice. Smoke sits in background, adding dimension without dominating. Unique approach to peat flavour
Finish
Medium finish. Gentle smoke, vanilla, fruit. Clean and approachable with lingering wisps of campfire. An inventive way to introduce smoke character
