Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep amber with mahogany edges; rich, viscous legs
Nose
Profoundly evolved — the medicinal peat has transformed over 25 years into something ethereal and incense-like. Dried seaweed, old leather, antique furniture, dark fruit compote, fig jam, and deep maritime salt. Beeswax, tobacco leaf, and a haunting wisp of campfire smoke
Palate
Magnificent complexity. The youthful medicinal aggression has mellowed into a dignified, layered experience. Old peat smoke, dark chocolate, raisin, fig, date, espresso, salted caramel, and aged leather. Maritime minerality runs through everything. Oily, silky mouthfeel. The sherry finish adds dried fruit depth without overwhelming the distillery character
Finish
Extraordinarily long and evolving. Waves of aged peat smoke, dark fruit, leather, tobacco, and maritime salt that shift and change over many minutes. Finishes with beeswax, incense, and a memory of the sea. One of Scotland's truly great aged whiskies
