Flavor Profile

Lightly Peated

Nose

Deep, heathery peat smoke with encroaching medicinal charms, pine wood, camphor, cooling bonfire embers and tendrils of seaweed. With water: elegant wood smoke, fragrant phenolics, old herbal and tar liqueurs and a kiss of cask-aged mead.

Palate

Decadently rich and mouthcoating, yet warming and gentle. Rich herbal character with medicines, dried mint, mineral oils and fatty sheep wool oils. Water brings wood spices, resinous hardwood extracts, smoked black olives, pure tar, hessian and a lovely medley of aniseed, salted liquorice and soy sauce.

Overall Notes

Bags of character, wisps of smoke, and an abundance of honey. Reminiscent of old-school blends of the past. Blended malt from all 5 Scotch whisky regions (Speyside, Highland, Lowland, Campbeltown & Islay), aged 10 years, 58.4%.
