Tasting Notes

This Highland single malt whisky aged for two decades is a true gem for peat enthusiasts. Embracing the smoky essence of Islay, it tantalizes the senses with a salty sea breeze and earthy peat smoke notes that lead the way. As you delve deeper, charred oak and toasted vanilla intertwine with fragrant woody spice, offering a delightful complexity. On the palate, coal and ash mingle with meaty undertones reminiscent of beer sticks and salt and pepper crisps, while charred herbs and brown butter add depth. The finish is a harmonious blend of roasted coffee grounds, dried mint, smoked salami, and salted caramel, leaving a lingering impression. This whisky's journey through custom-made oloroso sherry octave casks lends a richness that complements the smoky character, creating a truly remarkable dram for connoisseurs.
