Tasting Notes

"The aroma isn't super intense, but it's pleasant with dark fruits (dates, figs, raisins) and moderate peat smoke with an earthy, vegetal background. It's soft and full on the palate with more of the dark fruits along with some bright orange peel and vanilla. It's tangy and shows some light chocolate on the finish. It's enjoyable, but not really a "unicorn" dram. Serve neat or on a big rock after dinner."
