Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Pale gold to light copper hue with an oily viscosity on the glass.
Nose
Distinctive peat smoke mingles with maritime salt and heather notes. Underlying sweetness of honey and subtle citrus peel provide balance to the smokiness.
Palate
Medium-bodied with pronounced peat character balanced by honeyed grain sweetness. Saline minerality and a hint of citrus add complexity and prevent the smoke from overwhelming.
Finish
Warming finish with smoke lingering alongside salt and a touch of black pepper. The oak provides a subtle drying effect that complements the peat character.
