Tasting Notes
The whisky presents a heavily peated character infused with rich Oloroso sherry influence from its ex-bodega cask. Decades of solera system maturation have imparted complex, layered nuances that dominate the aromatic profile.
This Northern Islay whisky delivers a harmonious balance between intense peat smoke and the deep, dried fruit sweetness of long-aged Oloroso. The cask's extensive seasoning contributes refined sherry complexity throughout.
The finish is characterized by lingering peat smoke that gradually gives way to warming spice and rich sherry notes. The interplay between these elements provides a satisfying and enduring conclusion.
