TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: A burst of enveloping peat smoke, accompanied by ashy nuances and the typical maritime freshness of Islay. Subtle hints of nuts and leather emerge in the background, adding a rustic and complex dimension.
PALATE: From the first sip, a strong peaty intensity manifests, blending notes of ashy smoke, ripe apples, and licorice. The texture is rich, slightly oily, with a balance between the freshness of wild herbs and the depth of woody spices.
FINISH: Long and persistent, the finish is dominated by thick and robust smoke, with saline maritime echoes and a slight herbal bitterness that slowly unfolds on the palate.
