Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep gold, almost amber; viscous, thick legs indicating high ABV and oily spirit
Nose
Explosive peat — intensified medicinal phenols, burning hospital bandages, iodine concentrate, seaweed compost. Behind the smoke: rich vanilla, coconut, salted caramel, and lemon oil. Raw and powerful
Palate
Massive delivery at cask strength — the medicinal peat is amplified tenfold. Tar, carbolic soap, smoked oysters, brine, and kelp. Then a wave of sweetness: vanilla, butterscotch, coconut cream, and grilled lemon. Adding water opens floral heather and honey notes hidden beneath the phenols
Finish
Extraordinarily long — possibly the longest finish in the dataset. Medicinal smoke, salt, iodine, and a slow fade to sweet vanilla and coastal air. The aftertaste evolves for 10+ minutes. One of Scotch whisky's greatest expressions at any price
