Nose:
A harmonious blend of smoky peat and sweet oak greets you first, with waves of sea spray, iodine, and a hint of briny seaweed. Beneath the smoke lies a gentle sweetness—vanilla custard, caramel, and a touch of ripe pear—balanced by notes of earthy spice and a subtle citrus tang.
-
Palate:
The palate is robust and full-bodied, with an immediate hit of smoky peat, followed by layers of sweet malt, toasted oak, and dark chocolate. A rich, creamy texture brings out flavors of caramelized sugar, dried fruits, and a dash of black pepper. The peat smoke is bold but well-integrated, allowing the underlying sweetness and complexity to shine through.
-
Finish:
Long and warming, the finish lingers with smoky embers, a touch of dark chocolate, and a whisper of salty sea breeze. There’s a lasting impression of charred wood and a gentle sweetness that fades slowly, leaving a satisfying memory of Islay’s rugged coast.
