π¨ Flavor Profile
π Tasting Notes
Intense peat smoke billows forth with medicinal iodine, seaweed, and wet bandages characteristic of coastal Islay. Beneath the maritime assault lies surprising sweetnessβvanilla, honey, and a hint of lemon zest.
Bold and unapologetic with powerful peat smoke, brine, and tar complemented by underlying sweetness of vanilla and caramel. The oily, full-bodied texture carries notes of black pepper, smoked fish, and charred oak.
Long, warming finish with persistent smoky peat, sea salt, and a medicinal quality that gradually reveals gentle vanilla sweetness.
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.
