Tasting Notes

"A vivid and evocative aroma that is indeed 100% Islay. Smell brine, peat smoke, salted air, camphor, and rich malt. The palate is sizzling with dried chiles, dry smoke, and bold alcohol. As the whisky opens there’s softer notes of vanilla, pale malt, and cracked pepper. Add water to slow things down and elongate the flavors. This certainly does seem to bleed Islay."
