🎨 Flavor Profile
📝 Tasting Notes
Bold and assertive with pronounced smoke and peat accents alongside bright citrus zest and vanilla. Underlying notes of cereal grains and a hint of apple provide a spirited, straightforward character.
Robust and fiery with peppery spice, peaty smoke, and hints of malt sweetness balanced by citrus and vanilla. The youthful grain character is prominent, delivering a brisk, uncomplicated profile with a warming kick.
Short to medium with lingering smoke, pepper heat, and a fading note of sweet grain and vanilla.
🥃 How to Enjoy
Pour at room temp in a Glencairn. Let it breathe 2–3 minutes before nosing — this unlocks the full aromatic profile.
A few drops cut through cask-strength alcohol and release esters. Start with one drop and taste as you go.
Fine for lighter, fruitier expressions. Cold can mute the complexity in heavily peated or well-aged malts.
