📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Elegant and refined with fragrant peat smoke intertwined with rich sherry influences of fig, date, and dark chocolate. Delicate floral notes of heather and orange blossom lift the darker tones, while sea spray and iodine add coastal character.

👅 Palate

Silky and sophisticated with beautifully integrated smoke, dark fruits, and toffee sweetness. The maturity brings forth nuanced flavors of mocha, citrus zest, antique leather, and a gentle salinity that balances the sherried richness.

🔥 Finish

Extended and graceful with fading smoke, sweet oak, and persistent notes of dark chocolate and sea salt.

🥃 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.
