Tasting Notes
The whisky presents a striking combination of peat smoke and briny sea air, with underlying notes of heather and subtle floral undertones that add complexity to the initial aroma.
Rich and full-bodied, this cask delivers pronounced peaty flavours balanced by creamy malt sweetness, with hints of dark chocolate and a peppery spice that develops across the tongue.
The finish is long and warming, with lingering smoke and salt gradually fading to reveal a gentle sweetness and dried fruit character that persists on the palate.
