Tasting Notes

"A full phenolic range welcomes you on the nose, offering peat, brine and seashell, with background medicinal, tar and rubber notes, and even a touch of honey. The palate brings robust peat but it doesn't obscure the rest of what should be display, with more ocean brine, seaweed and seashell, along with honey, candied fruits and malty sweetness. The warming finish goes for miles, leaving the impression of a salty residue on your lips as if you've air-dried from a dip in the ocean. Add a touch of water for a richer sweetness on the palate, making the finishing peat and smoke all the more explosive. All things Islay in a glass."
