Description
Tasting Note
Nose: Rich and intriguing. Briny sea air, smoked fish, and coastal herbs blend with honeyed malt, citrus zest, and hints of vanilla. A faint smokiness underpins the profile, alongside delicate floral notes and a touch of salted caramel.
Palate: Full-bodied and complex. Layers of sea salt, peat smoke, and maritime brine mingle with sweet orchard fruits, toffee, and gentle spices—cinnamon and white pepper. The malt sweetness balances the savory elements, with a creamy texture and warming cask strength presence.
Finish: Long, smoky, and warming. Lingering notes of coastal salt, honeyed barley, vanilla, and soft spice fade slowly, leaving a lasting impression of the sea.
Overall: A distinctive and captivating Island malt, marrying smoky maritime character with rich fruit and spice. Cask strength delivers power and nuance in equal measure.
