Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Light amber with natural color; medium-heavy legs, non-chill filtered
Nose
Rich shiitake mushroom, toasted marshmallow, burnt caramel, figgy pudding, and a hint of vanilla. Irish peat smoke weaves through with a softer, earthier character than Islay peat
Palate
Dark chocolate, strawberries, toasted oak, maraschino cherries, vanilla, and subtle spice. The Irish peat delivers an earthy, mossy smoke rather than the medicinal or tarry character of Scottish peated malts. Sweet and smoky in balance
Finish
Medium-long finish, smoky and sweet, holding in a subtle but noticeable way before fading. Irish peat character — soft, vegetal, earthy — distinguishes this from any Scottish peated expression in the dataset
