Tasting Notes
Imagine a warm autumnal evening, the crisp air carrying wisps of smoke from a crackling fireplace. This 18-year-old Highland single malt captures that cozy ambiance in a glass. The nose greets with earthy peat smoke mingling with vanilla oak, buttery biscuits, and candied almonds. On the palate, robust toffee and marmalade intertwine with a hearty peat smoke presence, while delicate stone fruits and nutmeg linger in the backdrop. The finish lingers with notes of burnt butter, robust oak, fudge, stewed tea, vanilla, cracked peppercorns, and a sweet peaty farewell. This mysterious dram, lovingly bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company, offers a delightful harmony of smoky, sweet, and spicy notes that will transport you to a cozy Highland evening.
