🎨 Flavor Profile

📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Balanced and elegant with gentle peat smoke alongside vibrant citrus notes of lemon and lime. Heather honey, sea salt, and delicate floral hints create a harmonious maritime profile that's quintessentially Islay yet refined.

👅 Palate

Medium-bodied with a perfect equilibrium of sweet and smoky elements; honey and tropical fruit sweetness dance with moderate peat and coastal salinity. Citrus zest, vanilla, and a slight herbal quality add complexity to the smooth, accessible palate.

🔥 Finish

Medium length with gentle smoke, lingering honey sweetness, and a clean maritime fade accented by subtle peat and citrus.

🥃 How to Enjoy

Recommended
🥃
Neat

Pour at room temp in a Glencairn. Let it breathe 2–3 minutes before nosing — this unlocks the full aromatic profile.

💧
A Drop of Water

A few drops cut through cask-strength alcohol and release esters. Start with one drop and taste as you go.

🧊
On the Rocks

Fine for lighter, fruitier expressions. Cold can mute the complexity in heavily peated or well-aged malts.

💡 Older expressions (15+ years) and peated malts are best neat or with a single drop of still water.
