🔬 Whiskey Details
🎨 Flavor Profile
📝 Tasting Notes
Robust peat smoke and coastal brine dominate initially, followed by lemon oil, vanilla, and subtle floral notes. Hints of barbecued meat, iodine, and sweet barley emerge beneath the maritime character.
Full-bodied with assertive yet balanced peat smoke and maritime salinity. Sweet vanilla and honey provide counterpoint to the smoke, while citrus zest, white pepper, and underlying fruity esters add complexity to the smoky, oily texture.
Long, warming finish with persistent peat smoke, sea salt, and gentle sweetness lingering on the palate.
🥃 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.
