🔬 Whiskey Details
🎨 Flavor Profile
📝 Tasting Notes
Youthful and vibrant with assertive peat smoke, wood char, and fresh sea spray. Bright citrus notes of lemon zest mingle with sweet barley malt and a touch of vanilla, showing less sherry influence than older expressions.
Bold and energetic with aggressive peat and smoke dominating the palate, joined by cracked black pepper and brine. Underneath lies sweet malt, hints of apple, and a lighter body that showcases the spirit's raw, untamed character.
Medium to long with smoky intensity, white pepper heat, and a clean, briny fade with touches of charred oak.
🥃 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.
