Tasting Notes
"Though it's made in the Highlands, you'd swear this was Islay - not only because of its intense peatiness - but also for its heavy saline and seabrine flavors and its oily, viscous texture. There's a fair amount of dark chocolate, espresso and orchard fruits lying beneath the surface and faint warm spice in the finish. Peat fans will definitely rejoice with this one!"
