Tasting note

Nose

A rich and smoky aroma with notes of smoldering campfire, ash, and a subtle hint of sea breeze. Behind the peat smoke, hints of ripe pears, vanilla, and light citrus emerge, accompanied by a gentle touch of spicy oak influence.

Taste

Full-bodied and smoky, yet well-balanced. The peat smoke is bold and dry, with undertones of roasted nuts, honey, and a touch of caramel. Fruity notes of apple and orange provide a refreshing contrast, while black pepper and cinnamon add a spicy depth.

Finish

Long and warming, with lingering smoke and a subtle sweetness. The oak influence remains present in the background, while a hint of dark chocolate and roasted malt elegantly round off the whisky.
