π Tasting Notes
Robust peat smoke mingles with sea spray and iodine, characteristic of Islay's coastal influence. Beneath the maritime character lie layers of dried figs, dark chocolate, and a hint of vanilla sweetness from sherry cask maturation.
The palate delivers waves of medicinal peat and bonfire smoke balanced by sherry-derived richnessβraisins, sultanas, and brown sugar. Medium-bodied with an oily texture that carries flavors of citrus peel, oak spice, and a subtle nuttiness.
Long and warming, with lingering peat smoke, black pepper, and a final echo of sweet dried fruit and coastal brine.
π₯ How to Enjoy
Pour at room temp in a Glencairn. Let it breathe 2β3 minutes before nosing β 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.
