Tasting Notes

"Stewed fruits and dried apricots open the nose, with a meaty smokiness, charcoal, both seaweed and seashell, and iodine. The palate enters with drying smoke, with a background of zingy ginger, citrus zest and honey, and layers of smoke, peat, and salt. Big, intense finish, with a hearty Islay trio of smoke, brine, and iodine, trailing off into peat, pepper, and seaweed. There are long finishes, and then there's this, which simply goes and goes. Ongoing flavor continues rolling in, the tumbling waves of Islay's coastlines bottled up."
