Tasting Notes
The whisky presents a striking contrast between Highland peat smoke and delicate sweetness, with lightly chocolatey notes, honey, and ginger coming to the fore.
It delivers a dynamic interplay of the smoke devil and sweet sherry character, pulling the drinker toward rich chocolate and spice before intensifying into a smoky, savory experience.
The whisky concludes with persistent peat smoke and warmth, leaving a lingering balance of the sherry's sweetness against the smokehouse intensity.
