Tasting Notes
"Concentrated bursts of candied apples, dried figs, dates, rich toffee, cinnamon and vanilla welcome the palate with puffs of woody smoke. Adding a drop of water opens these flavors up, with its sweet smokiness wafting delicately around the glass. Layers of ocean brine and the distillery's signature medicinal element, give the impression of a seaside bonfire. A faint grapefruit zest binds it all together, and the sherried notes never overpower the true character of the whisky. In all, a very fitting way to celebrate 200 years of delicious whisky-making!"
