Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Warm gold with rose-copper tints from Rioja wine cask finishing
Nose
Maritime peat meets Spanish wine — smoky and fruity. Red berry fruit from Rioja influence, campfire smoke, sea salt. Vanilla and gentle spice. An intriguing combination of island peat and wine cask sweetness
Palate
Medium body. Peat smoke balanced by Rioja wine sweetness — red berries, plum, gentle tannins. Maritime salt and campfire. Vanilla, gentle spice. The wine cask softens the peat and adds fruit depth. Good value entry point
Finish
Medium finish. Smoke and red berry fruit, gentle wine tannins, maritime salt. Clean and approachable. Part of the Sinclair Series honoring the distillery's heritage
